Try a fishery called Rocklands Mere. It's run by a chap called James Harrold, Nice chap who's always willing to help. They have a web site which will give you all the relevent contact numbers and directions.

The fishery is predominatly a surface water, but as with all waters you are guided by the fish and condutions. You can even maggot drown on an adjacent lake should the urge take you.

 

You could also try the Narbourgh lakes complex. I can not vouch for it personally as I haven't fished it. I beleave that the complex has something for everyone from a specimen lake to a river that you fly fish on.

 

There are quite few more places to fly fish but they are club waters and as such I'm unsure of their policies on guest anglers.

I hope that this helps.

Have you tried the Norfolk and Suffolk Flyfishers lake at East Tuddingham?

Narborough is OK but very easy and expensive - you pay an entry fee and then pay per pound of fish you take away (don't know current price per £). There's no limit so it's easy to catch several fish quite quickly, which can work out expensive (especially if one or two are big)! Not much of a challenge. The stream is also very easy, tiny and well stocked with rainbows.

 

There's fly fishing on the Wensum at Fakenham - much more challenging and beautiful.

 

There used to be a lovely trout lake at Woodlakes near Stow Bridge (that's where I learnt to fly fish) but unfortunately it's now a carp lake.

I can vouch for this. It's also free on a lengthy stretch downstream of the old mill (now a hotel) and on the short stretch upstream. Definite fish life in there, so you wouldn't be wasting your time but you'll need to have your roll cast nicely honed...
