Fishery Information
Wensum Fisheries is a classic mature gravel pit fishery that began in the mid-1960s and includes six excellent lakes as well as nearly a mile of the river Wensum. It sits on 42 acres of the magnificent Wensum valley and it boasts of a long and illustrious history of angling. The members of this beautiful fishery, flanked with trees and features exquisite lakes studded with lily pads and mysterious small bays, have access to some exceptional fishing in an environment that is both serene and secure. Besides the River Wensum, the lakes are:
Clearwater Lake is around 7 acres with depths ranging from 8 to 12 feet. It contains an abundance of invertebrate life, which provides it the pedigree necessary for producing enormous fish and a high potential for expansion. The lake is rich with carp, excellent tench, pike, silver birch, bream, roach, rudd, and gorgeous striped perch.
The Back Lake is the largest of the lakes at Wensum Fisheries and covers an area of 9.5 acres. It is a challenging specimen water with the largest of the carp as well as large bream, rudd, pike, and tench. It has an uneven shape, big alluring bays and protruding peninsulas.
Rainbow Pool, one of the smaller lakes in the fishery is slightly over an acre and has depths ranging from around 4 to 12 feet. Tench, bream, and silver fish are in abundance here.
Approximately 2.2 acres, and depths ranging from 4 to 12 feet, make up Roach Pool. The uncrowded lake with a few well-spaced swims, provides anglers the flexibility to explore the reed fringes along the eastern bank. It is home to giant carp, tench, bream, and silver fish.
The other two lakes are Jay Lake, which covers an area of 0.6 acres surrounded by reeds, and New Lake, which is the third largest lake, covers an area of around 3.5 acres, and is still undergoing more development.
