Renowned Coarse Fishing in season. (16th June - 15th March)

Holidaymakers at 'Wake Robin' have 30ft of the River Bure to fish from or you can just relax and watch the abundant water bird life.

The River Bure at Horning is just tidal (about 4in.) It is fresh most of the year but becomes slightly brackish during surges in Wintertime. Maximum depth is about 7ft and at the bank in Wake Robin garden about 4ft.

Fishing at Wake Robin is for both the expert and beginner. There are Roach a-plenty to be had on Maggots and Worms. Large Bream are available on Sweet Corn and Bread. Decent Perch can be found by the patient angler.

If you like your fish big then the River Bure is justifiably famous for its specimen Pike. Using Dead Bait or Lure from the bank or Trolling in your dinghy.

At dusk and into nightfall the Tench are feeding. Some real sport for the keen angler.

The fishing season is from 16th June until 15th March. You must have a current Rod License. If you bring your own boat you will need to pay a short stay 'Broads Authority' Boat Toll, this can be purchased locally.

There are many private lakes around Horning which are open 12 months of the year, here you can find specimen Carp.

There is a bait and tackle shop in Horning Village about 200yds from 'Wake Robin'.
