Airfield Lakes
Distance from Norwich: 20 miles south
Airfield Fishery is located below the town of Diss, just off the A140. It is only accessible on weekly bookings that can put a dent in your tight budget.
However, it’s the best spot with uniform depth if you’re pursuing stubborn carp. Speaking of Mustang Lake, you can even catch over a 50lb specimen. Plus 95% of all species belong to the twenties and thirties.
Catch 22 Fishing Centre
Distance from Norwich: 12 miles northwest
Catch 22 lets you taste open waters fishing in a protected lake full of 2000+ commons. It also contains bream and pike, but you can angle for carp only by using boilie baits.
The main lake is sold on day tickets. However, advance booking will get you a perfect island peg. Also, it features toilets, shelves, sanitization tanks, and clean water facilities.
Homersfield Lake
Distance from Norwich: 19 miles south
The most prolific fishery in the UK lies on the River Waveney, away from the bustling ordeals. You can expect mirror and common carps ranging from 20lb to 50lb. And the country’s 100lb record catfish was born here as well.
This lake is a tranquil and mood-nourishing site for serious anglers; that’s why members-only! If it fascinates you, grab full-year membership right now!

Waveney Valley Lakes
Distance from Norwich: 20 miles south
