Fishing along the River Waveney

The River Waveney is tidal throughout. Anglers can hope to catch the bream, roach and pike along the length of these waters - and for free at Beccles Marshes.

Anglers should ensure that they have the necessary permission to fish on privately-owned waters, those controlled by angling clubs or on banks of tidal rivers. Avoid riverside moorings as this may cause difficulties for boat users who legitimately want to moor and seek angling stagings where mooring is not allowed. On Sunday mornings craft are asked to avoid certain stretches of river before 09:00 to allow early morning fishing matches to take place.

An Environment Agency licence is required for every angler aged 12 years and over. There are two types of annual licence permitting anglers to fish nationwide. Firstly, a non-concessionary licence and secondly, a concessionary licence available to anglers aged between 12 and 16 years old and for people over 60 years of age, or disabled persons. Either licence can be obtained from local post offices.
