| Description: |
South Elmham Lakes offer peaceful quiet fly fishing for quality rainbow and brown trout. Set in grazing pasture with mature oak trees and views over open farmland. Our lakes are home to abundant wildlife, and teem with aquatic life.
Frog Hall Lake is the smaller of our two lakes and is roughly an acre of water. It is crystal clear with a small island accessible by a bridge. The island is a popular starting point for many of our regular anglers. The lake is round in shape, and the western side is sheltered with mature trees. Water depth varies from 16' to shallow. There are deep gullies and underwater islands. The margins vary from steep to shallow providing habitat for a variety of marginal plants and reeds, and permitting numerous angling positions.
Old Hall Lake is much larger, long in shape, with two habitat islands, neither of which are accessible for fishing. The water is in excess of 2 acres. The deepest end is 16', and the entire lake is a mixture of deep gullies, shallows and underwater islands with steep banks to provide habitat for our trout. The long Northern side is mainly deep water with occasional shallow areas, whilst the Southern side is mainly shallow interspersed with intermediate and deeper areas within casting reach.
