River Yare, Claxton-Langley

NUAC have an association with Great Yarmouth & Norfolk County Angling Association (GYNCAA) which grants our members access to nearly three miles of the River Yare along the southern bank from Claxton to Langley. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with the GYNCAA Rules as stated below before visiting.

As indicated in the rules this stretch of river is primarily a match water so please ensure you keep clear of the pegs booked for match use. Also please note that pegs to the left of the Beauchamp Arms are out of bounds until further notice.

See the Location section below for details of the main access points to this stretch of river plus associated parking information.

The Yare at this stage of it's journey to the sea is a powerful tidal river; be prepared for strong flow and depths of 12-20'. On a high flood tide you may need 3oz of lead to hold bottom so a powerful 12-13' feeder rod will be required especially if you wish to fish over two-thirds of the way across the river.

Main species are quality roach, with individual fish over 2lb not unheard of, skimmers, bream up to 8lb and perch. There are also big carp and pike present although swim selection is key for these species.

The fishing is at its best late summer through to end of September however large bags of bream and big roach are possible through the winter until the close of the river season assuming the conditions are favourable.

For more information about fishing this stretch of river please go to Fishing the River Yare.
