Burwell and Reach Lodes - between the A1123 / B1102 - Cambridgeshire

These waterways are not canals or traditional Fenland dykes but Lodes !! covering a distance of 7 or so miles to the North West of Cambridge. They start as two "Rivers" joining but effectively look like and fish like a canal, a fishery that never floods.

Both are approximately 15 metres wide and between 2 to 3 metres in depth. The locals love fishing the wheat for Roach and sweetcorn for the abundant Bream and Tench. 

It is not uncommon to see the Specimen hunter on the Lodes for Pike and Zander in the Winter. There are some real lunkers lurking in the rushes and we’ve received reports of  20lb. plus Carp.
