About us
Highbridge Fishery is a distinctive 9-acre clay-lined reservoir in South Norfolk, unlike anything else in the region. Roughly dug and used for irrigation, its water levels naturally rise and fall throughout the year, exposing clay banks and creating ever-changing, dynamic fishing conditions. Scattered patches of light weed add to its character, but the real draw is its impressive stock of large, hard-fighting common carp, with specimens tipping just over 40lb.
The lake has two syndicates, with the coarse ticket kept strictly limited to safeguard a delicate population of specimen roach. Rules and details are available via the links above.
There are no obvious hot spots here—success comes to those who work for it. Bait a spot, and the fish will find you. With a depth of up to 37ft and a width of around 200 metres at its narrowest, anglers should not cast across your swim.
Facilities
Highbridge Fishery offers a comfortable and well-equipped base for all members and their guests. At the heart of the site is a heated Carp Cabin—a warm, welcoming space complete with a clean, heated toilet block, hot running water, and washing facilities. The kitchen area is fully fitted with essentials, including a kettle, fridge, chest freezer, microwave, and a table with chairs—perfect for a break between sessions or a warm-up after a long night.
To make getting your gear to your swim easier, members also have access to a top-of-the-line Prestige Electric Carp Porter Extreme.
The fishery features a secure on-site car park, and for those craving a hot meal, there’s a Chinese takeaway and the popular Rumbles fish & chip shop just two miles down the road.
How to find us
Highbridge Fishery is peacefully tucked away in the quiet village of Bridgham, just 5 miles north of Thetford off the A11, and 2 miles from East Harling. It’s the only lake in the village, making it easy to locate—just follow the map on our Contact page.

Whether you’re chasing one of our powerful 40lb+ carp, targeting specimen roach, or simply soaking in a breathtaking Norfolk sunset over the water, your journey here is the start of something special.
Bait & Approach
Success at Highbridge starts with smart baiting and bold tactics. While most high-quality baits perform well here, many of our recent big carp—topping 40lb—have been caught on Moretakes Bait, available at moretakes.co.uk. For added convenience, a selection of bait—boilies, glugs, hookers, pop-ups, and more—is kept on site. Simply contact James 07810 546776 to purchase directly during your session.
The fish here are big, active, and always on the move—especially across varying depths throughout the year. Don’t sit back and wait: stay mobile, adjust your tactics, and find the feeding zones. And when they’re feeding, don’t hold back—introducing several kilos over 24 hours can make all the difference.
If you’re chasing your next PB or just love competitive, rewarding angling, Highbridge offers the challenge—and the prize—you’ve been looking for.
