Hinderclay Lakes is a day ticket coarse fishery at Rickinghall on the Suffolk side of the Norfolk border, with a complex of lakes offering well over 100 pegs. Spring Lake, the largest, is the pick for crucian carp that top 3lb, along with good tench, bream and a few larger carp, while lily-lined Reed Pool holds carp into the late teens of pounds plus double figure tench. A cafe and toilet are on site, and camping and caravan pitches form part of the setup, making it a handy short-break venue. Tickets are bought on site; ring ahead to check current prices, opening times and which lakes are free of matches.
