barry211 Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 despite living about a mile or 2 from the Waveney i have never fished it for carp and figured i would spend a day down by it in October, looking at travelling light so i can move about as a nice stretch of the river is right near me. i have checked the old FB pages and what not but wondered if any of you fine peeps have ever given this river a go, i will most likely be up by Marsh Lane end (if you know the area) and only taking a single rod and bag but would it be a 'boilie' type of approach or more sweetcorn and maggots possibly on a float rig. am hoping to see if any silvers are about but the last time i fished the Waveney (30yrs ago) it was all eels and not much over a pound of anything else in the river, will be taking a range of floats, rigs and some weight set-ups so i can change stuff about if needed but just wondered if any one here has some sagely advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two were connected from October to January and part of the bank was washed away, despite there being a field in between. Is Marsh Lane near Carlton Colville? I don't think that there are any Mills between Harleston and there, so all species are a possibility barry211 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends which side of the border you come from, and I can never remember who says what... I think Norfolk is Waverknee, whereas us Suffolk people who talk properly say Waveknee barry211 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
