River Wensum
The river is one of the most overlooked parts of the complex, however there is some incredible fishing to be had. Its mainly a shallow fast flowing river however has a few slower deeper holes that can be productive in the colder months. There is a big selection of fish to be found in the river, consisting with Minnows, Roach, Perch, Pike, Chub and Trout. There are some large river roach that can be found in shoals which often can be found under trees in deeper areas, the big chub like to sit in the shallow water when the suns out giving people the opportunity to try and free line for them, however they are very spooky and will quickly find cover if they feel pressured. The perch often hang around cover but will happily come out for a feed in the open to ambush, and the pike will normally sit in the weed waiting for their prey to come past them before attacking. At over a mile long there are plenty of spots to try and fish from and to, with overhangs often playing a big part.
