jamescain12 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Hi, Got a mate travelling back to the country who I used to fish with a few years back. Looking at doing 3 nights at the end of April. Can anyone suggest anywhere that is good for a few bites but also with some larger fish, ideally a well ran day ticket with a shop/cafe onsite? Will travel anywhere in UK. We usually go Farlows but fancy somewhere different, been looking at Fenland or Bluebell? Thanks, James Quote
yonny Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Linch Hill? They have a cafe and awesome stock of kippers.

Don't really fish day tickets myself so never sure where to take my mate when he flys over. Cheers for the reply! Quote

How are the pegs situated, are they close together or are their any doubles? Is a bit of a social/catchup so would be good to not be too far away! Quote

On the edge of Ipswich, just off the A14 and A12. Bex Tackle shop and cafe onsite. It has been throwing up fish at the moment on the Traditional and Big Fish lake. Quote

Expand Yeah should be fairly easy for a social with a few swims Not sure about the cafe he is rebuilding the shop at the moment doesn't look very open at the moment though and still in need of a refurb, there are takeaways that deliver though, Quote
