135 Angling in the Norfolk Broads

The Broads is the ideal setting for angling and home to a large range of fish species, including bream, eel, pike, rudd and tench. The coarse fishing season runs from 16 June to 14 March and all you need to fish in the Broads is a current Environment Agency licence, available from post offices. You can fish from the bank, hire a day boat or use fishing platforms, some of which are wheelchair accessible.

Angling for disabled people

The Broads Authority and the Environment Agency are working to install more wheelchair accessible fishing platforms in the Broads area. Some of the best places to get information on where to fish if you use a wheelchair are the tackle shops. Tackle shops are listed in the Environment Agency’s Angle on the Broads (see left).
