About the water

Blackdyke Trout Fly Fishery is on Blackdyke Road near Hockwold-cum-Wilton in Norfolk, about 10 miles west of Thetford. Established in 2008, it is operated by Dean and Niki Barton. The venue lies between Feltwell and Hockwold-cum-Wilton, where the website notes pubs, restaurants and convenience stores. The lake has become smaller following problems with leaks, but the homepage states that it remains 12–14 feet deep and is stocked monthly. Angler accounts published on the site mention catches of brown trout and rainbow trout. A few rowing boats are available, along with a wheelie boat for disabled anglers, and float tubers are welcome. The venue also offers tuition and lists events and competitions. On-site facilities include a large car park, toilets and a kitchen with free tea and coffee. There is a fishing lodge, with The Yoga Cabin alongside it, and a three-bedroom caravan provides accommodation on site. The homepage currently announces a summer closure, with an autumn opening date to be confirmed according to fishing conditions. For bookings and enquiries, the venue recommends calling, although visitors can also use its contact form or email.
