Norfolk Flyfishers Club


A VERY WARM WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF THE NORFOLK FLYFISHERS CLUB

About our Club:- The Norfolk Flyfishers Club was founded in 1969 and is believed to be the longest established fly fishing Club for Trout Anglers in the County of Norfolk. For over 20 years we developed and managed a still water fishery at Lyng in Norfolk before moving to our current 20 acre lake, which is a reclaimed gravel pit, owned by the Club, and situated approximately 15 miles northwest of the city of Norwich.

The aim of the Club when founded, and which we still strive to achieve, is ‘to offer good value, flexible and affordable trout fishing to all in Norfolk and surrounding Counties.’ Our current membership of 170 anglers (Men and Ladies – age ranges 17 to 85) is drawn from right across the County and surrounds and from a very varied range of occupations and professions. The Club is run and managed by anglers for anglers on a non-profit making basis with any income over expenditure ploughed back into continually improving the Fishery and facilities we offer. At the lake we provide a comfortable club house with tea and coffee making facilities; a booking in and weighing in facility; ladies and gents toilets and some shelters round the lake where members can escape the vagaries of our British weather when needed. In addition numerous fishing platforms have been erected, many with adjoining seats, thus enabling our members and guests to fish comfortably and safely.

Our trout season currently runs from 1st March to 31st January and during this period members can visit and fish as much as they like up to their weekly (currently 8 fish) and yearly (currently 100 fish) limits allow. On average we stock approximately 10, 000 fish per season with an average season catch of 7,500. Weights of stocked fish vary between 1.5lbs and 5lbs with the bulk of the fish caught being in the 1.75lbs to 2.5lbs range.

For those of you who like a change from trout fishing members may also coarse fish our lake currently during November, December and January and if you like a spot of river fishing our adjoining stretch of the Wensum is well worth a cast or two for the chub and other fish it has to offer during the normal Coarse Fishing Season (June 16th to March 14th)
