Diss Mere

Fishing on the Mere has changed recently, with rod and feeder tactics proving to be the most successful approach for skimmers and bream. Afternoon and evening sessions appear to offer the best chances of success.

For carp anglers, there are hundreds of fish over 10lb, with a good number exceeding 20lb. Last year saw the first recorded 30lb carp caught from the Mere.

Day tickets have been extremely popular and will remain available throughout this season.

Thornham Lakes

Thornham Lakes is an exciting new opportunity for the club, and we're looking forward to members getting down there and giving it a try.

A chain lock has been fitted to the gate, with the access code listed in the membership book. Fishery information boards have been installed, providing lake details and fishery rules, and all pegs have been numbered.

Fish stocks are very healthy, ensuring plenty of sport for anglers of all abilities.

Lake 1 contains a variety of species, including plenty of smaller carp that can be caught close in.

Lake 3 holds the larger carp, which you'll notice as you approach the lake. The biggest fish landed last year weighed 17lb, although there are plenty of carp between 6lb and 10lb. There is also a good head of roach and rudd.

As mentioned previously, Lake 1 may appear shallow, but depths reach up to 5ft in the middle sections.

We will continue improving the pegs over time, as some areas are currently quite steep. There is also some w**d growth in the middle of Lake 3, which we will remove whenever possible.

We have a match there on Sunday and will share catch photos with everyone afterwards.

Tunmores Lakes

We now have access only to the smaller of the two lakes, located across the bridge.

The access code is listed in the membership book. It is a peaceful and quiet venue, and we've added more carp over the last few months. We are aiming to introduce further fish around October.

The most popular pegs are 7–10, as they are only a short walk from the car park.

Thank You

We hope all members enjoy the season ahead. Please keep checking our page for updates.

We warmly welcome all new members, so please feel free to get in touch if you need any information before making a decision.

Tight lines, everyone — and most importantly, enjoy your fishing!

***Mere Rod Masters Final***

Terrible condition and spawning fish made the final a very frustrating one with very little caught with most on the waggler.
The big skimmers had no interest in feeding which was very disappointing.

Well done to those who sat it out in hot conditions. The top 5 were as following who all had between 1lb and 6lb in a tough match.

5th place Jimmy Ellis
4th place Martin Buckenham
3rd place Malcolm Kester
2nd place Daniel Warhurst
1st place Kelvin Barker
