SPARHAM POOLS

Picturesque, mature gravel pit of approximately 12 acres, containing many wooded islands. This water is a nature reserve that is shared with the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.  NACA has five swims along the Southern (River) bank and two on the East bank.
It is well known for producing mixed catches of Roach to over a pound and Tench to 5 pounds. There are also Perch, and Pike to 30 lb have been caught in the past.

The EA have recently stocked this water with a pure strain of fingerling crucian carp.

Pike fishing starts 1st Oct onwards
Season runs from 16th June to March 14 inclusive.


SQUARE MEADOW LAKE

Despite being only 10 years old this 7-acre gravel pit has a surprisingly mature look about it being surrounded by substantial hedgerows and coppices on two banks and the river along one side. Fish stocks are still fairly low; however there are Pike to over 20 pounds, Perch, Roach and Tench (to over 8lb) have been caught.  Double-figure bream have also been caught and there are a few Carp to over 20lbs.

Pike fishing starts 1st Oct onwards

Seasons runs 1st April to 31st Dec inclusive.
