Further Details: Opening times, address etc. for Avenue Angling
Avenue Angling has to be one of my favourite tackle shops of all time, even though it can be a little intimidating for the new-comer!

Knowing I would have 30-40 mins free while my daughter was throwing herself around a gymnastics hall, I took the opportunity for a reconnaissance of Walnut Farm Fisheries in Besthorpe near Wymondham.
