daleg2008 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi all Me and a friend are looking to do some fishing on the river wensum this season and was wondering where are the accessible spots to start? We have found a couple, but the banks are quite high compared to the water level. Any info would me much appreciated. Thanks Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishingaddict Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have fished the wensum for carp a couple of times but never caught. However, I saw 2 very large carp (20lb at least!) near to the railings at new mills yard just downstream of Halfords a few days ago. I have also seen some double figure sized commons at wensum park off oak street. THe water is getting quite clear now so if you have a good look round you might spot them. Tactics wise I would suggest bait up the night before anf fish first light. I would fish overnight though as you'll want to avoid the riff-raff.

There are carp in the area, but fishing for them is difficult, (from my last memories) as the banks are so high with no riverside path access. You will have to get out there in a boat. Postwick/Bramerton Woods End, again, carp in the area, but they move around a lot. I've seen them between the city stretches back of the Law Courts (Norwich itself on the Wensum), to down as far as Surlingham. That is a lot of water to cover. You will be pretty much having to find them yourself each time. The only easy help I can give is that spawning time, the fish would often go into Pike Square at Thorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmarket Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Heres a statement and a half . If i had had access to a prolific river like the wensum , or indeed the avon or stour , i doubt if i would ever have got into carping . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
