There are also fishing platforms along the River Bure near Cockshoot Broad, for use by members of the Norwich and District Anglers' Association.
Out of season private fishing is available 365 days a year at Dilham Fishery which is located on the main A149 between Stalham and North Walsham (15 minutes away by car).

Please remember never to discard fishing tackle, as it can easily harm wildlife. If you are fishing from a Broads Authority free mooring, you must give way to boats wishing to moor, and please do not fish from a moving boat. |
