You will have to check the local bylaws mate, probably eel?.....but i would recce it out for a return the following year, after making sure there was very little reference to fishing and ensuring the beloved has the perfect holiday and insists you return!!.....obviously a week or three later!

Graham, what about finding out the nearest stillwater fishery to the broads?
eg I think there are some small pits at Martham (on the Thurne), literally 20 yards from the river.
Presumably they are open all year, but you'd have to get hold of someone local to check & see if daytickets available etc.

Incidentally I've had a few boating hols on the Broads, absolutely 1st class and I'd recommend them to anyone...

just forge a letter from the holiday people stating that they have overbooked and that you'll have to re-book for the middle of june.......and then say to the missus that it was a stroke of luck as the weather predictions for may were terrible but june , at least from the 15th onwards , is meant to be a belter !!!!
