Miltz308 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Has anybody fished the lake at the University of East Anglia? I am due to start my masters there tomorrow and thought it would be perfect to get an over nighter in after uni! I wondered if anybody had any info on it? Im thinking maybe Nick will?? Cheers! Sam!

Miltz308 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 And ok nick, excuse my ignorance, what kind of effect do otters have on the fishing? I know they are potentially dangerous to the carp which is a bit of a turn off for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianain Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 what kind of effect do otters have on the fishing? Lovely, fluffy, cutesy wootsy, iccle, huggable otters have been playing with their fish friends. ianfrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianain Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Don't think that picture was from the lake you mentioned. Ask a few questions and have a good look around. Have fun with your masters, and why are you still up when you have such a big day tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 UEA Broad is pretty well known, the only lake actually inside the city boundaries, and right next to the River (which has some decent chub in itself) If you check the link above I've put in, there is season ticket costs etc, although night permits are extra. The whole of the Wensum and Yare valley's did get hit quite heavily by otters, chub, barbel, carp, pretty much everything has changed, although they have been changing for years, roach disease, rise of chub numbers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I had a cruise through the UEA Broads website, some good catches showing, a nice looking lake record, caught by someone who used to fish occasionally on Taverham, Nick Waller, nice enough guy, and what appears to be an honest bailiff report. Unfortunately I couldn't see if there is a particular bait that numbers of anglers are on, and large numbers of anglers mentioned, so I reckon that there are a number of different baits going in. Reckon you stand a chance of a few fish, groundbait and particles may be a bream attractor as there seem to be more than when I was living nearby.

Miltz308 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Nice one, cheers nick. I think I'm going to rice Premier Baits Randoms a go. It's my first year fishing and budget is an issue. The Randoms are cheap, and as you say if people are chucking a lot of different bait in it may not make a big difference! Cheers for your help bud. newmarket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
