FISHING NEAR SUDBURY

[Charlie Bettell]

I am meeting a friend for s day's pleasure fishing in Sudbury next week.Has anyone any venue suggestions, please?

Two good locations for lure fishing, are where the backwater meets the river.

 

Where the row club dyke meets the river is probably the best spot of all - especially on top-water lures.

 

The stretch up from the row club dyke to the bridge is also a very good - for pike and chub.

 

I used to live in Sudbury Jim

 

I still visit Sudbury - as my mother and sister live there.

 

P.S. The Cornard stretch is also worth a look - by the weir.

 

If you drive round to Ballingdon and turn left just before the hill, and travel down river on the opposite bank to Sudbury, you will come to some farm land where you can park up.

 

A short walk and you will be on the lower side of the Cornard weir - a very good spot for pike and zander - it may be a club stretch now though!

 

P.P.S. I served my pike fishing apprenicship on the Suffolk Stour - mainly around Sudbury and Cornard - and down river to Bures.
