Black Dyke Trout Fishery

Setting

Black Dyke Trout Fishery offers a tranquil escape in Norfolk’s picturesque East Anglian countryside. Located in Hockwold-cum-Wilton, just 10 miles west of Thetford, the fishery features an 8-acre lake surrounded by expansive grassy banks, perfect for casting your line amidst lovely scenery.

Amenities

Operating for nearly four years, Black Dyke has recently unveiled a purpose-built lodge catering to fly fishing enthusiasts and their guests. The lodge includes comfortable lodges and cabins, ensuring a pleasant stay. Facilities are thoughtfully designed with restrooms for women, gentlemen, and individuals with disabilities. Visitors can also enjoy hot refreshments and light snacks at the on-site café.

Fishing

The lake is well-stocked with rainbow and brown trout, offering a rewarding experience for anglers. Rainbow trout at Black Dyke range from 2 to 12 pounds, known for their spirited fight when hooked with dry flies. The natural fly life in the area supports a healthy population of these resilient fish, making it a favourite spot for those seeking a challenging yet enjoyable day on the water.
