The River Thet is a chalk stream offering mixed coarse fishing through Norfolk's rural landscape, with reasonable stocks of bream, chub and roach in its moderate-quality waters. Anglers can expect a typical lowland river experience with slower flows and gentle swims, though recent fish populations have been under pressure. Access is available at several points along the river, but anglers should check local club affiliations and obtain necessary permits before fishing.
Anglers should note the close season on River Thet: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Club membership or day ticket access is required in addition to your EA rod licence on most stretches.
