INTRODUCTIONThis booklet is a guide to some of the angling clubs controlling waters on the rivers Ant, Bure, Thurne, Yare and Waveney within Norfolk and Suffolk with maps to show each stretch of water The list of club names is not exhaustive and the Anglian Region of the National Rivers Authority would welcome any further information from angling organisations controlling stretches of water not listed. It is important that before fishing a club is contacted to check membership details or the availability of day tickets.

The maps show the course of rivers and drains with major towns and villages marked for reference, as well as some of the important access roads. The NRA is grateful to angling clubs for their help in compiling this guide and would appreciate any up-dates on waters controlled or changes in contact points for the club.
