Weybread Mill Upstream.

The downstream end pegs pictured from the Norfolk bank with the mill race in the background.Location-This stretch runs from the downstream end of the Needham Mill length downstream to Weybread Mill but on the other bank which is the Suffolk bank. From Harleston Market place turn left and then left again at the Cherry Tree pub, carry on over the river bridge then take the right hand fork at Weybread Pits. Turn right down Water Mill Lane keep left when the lane forks and park at the gates just past the last house, the first gate is locked so you will have to go over the next gate may be unlocked.

Walk straight down the marsh to the river, Weybread Mill is at the downstream end and club control runs upstream, all the marshes are all joined near to the river by small footbridges when you run out of bridges it's the end of club water.

The top end of the ousier bank again pictured from the Norfolk bank.Description- One of the widest sections its also deep with between eight and twelve foot of water with little or no flow in the summer, much of the stretch weeds up badly in the summer so peg choice can be limited to the deeper areas.

Tactics and pegs- This stretch is hardly ever fished but there are some good fish to be caught. During the summer find a clear run in the weed and you will catch roach and perch but don't expect big bags. Hemp is the no1 roach bait but caster is well worth a go and you may land a bonus tench, chopped worm if you have any is another good bait for big bonus perch and tench. Hot pegs are just above the trees opposite the by-pass and behind the pallet yard. Keep out of the trees they look nice and are clear of weed sadly of fish as well. Once Autumn arrives the fish shoal up in the first three pegs above the mill, there are also a few bonus chub around this area.
