The River Tas is a Norfolk lowland river offering mixed coarse fishing opportunities across its 29.8km length, with good populations of bream, chub, and roach in slower sections and pike in deeper pools. The moderate water quality supports a diverse fishery including trout in clearer reaches, making it suitable for both match and specimen anglers. Access is available through various points along its course, though anglers should check locally for specific permissions and any Environment Agency byelaws before fishing.
