Welcome to the new and updated Norfolk Anglers Conservation Association website, many new features have been built into this new site that will make it easier to manage and update. This will allow us to provide information about the Association, its work and its fisheries on a regular basis. The site is still being developed in the background so some of this will be added progressively over the coming weeks and months. In the meantime please browse the site and make use of the information provided.

The old NACA site will remain online for a short period whilst all the information is transferred and updated where appropriate and will eventually be turned off, transferring its search rankings to this new website.

Key features will be RSS feeds to keep you up to date on news and events as they are posted, ability to print or access information in PDF files as well as inform friends of things you discover on the site by using embedded ' email a friend' links on many pages. Galleries are currently being prepared and have basic images at present, if you are an NACA member and have pictures of fish caught on NACA fisheries send them to the Secretary, we'll add them to the appropriate gallery.

Now a little about the NACA

Founded in 1985 in an effort to capture the obvious unity that existed within angling in Norfolk to fight for the rivers that had until recently been top grade fisheries, but due to over abstraction and mis-management were in decline. Much of this history of who, what and when is recorded in About NACA and if you value your own fishing, this would be a good section to visit, you may even consider the value of setting up a local version of what NACA has striven to achieve.

On the back of that foundation NACA has campaigned on many issues again well documented in the Campaigns pages. It really took off when the opportunity to be able to put into practice what it preached when a neglected stretch of river at Lyng was offered to the Association to undertake a restoration project. That project is well documented, but the effort and deliberations of the syndicate, formed to manage and develop the river has seen the fruits of its labour's paid back in the form of record breaking barbel. that fishery, known as Sayers Meadow on the river Wensum has become famous across the UK.

On the back of this other fisheries were offered to NACA to manage and develop and these include still waters that have produced record bream, huge tench, carp, pike amongst many other species. A second river restoration project, the Costessey Point Project is now well on the road to delivering a revival of the Wensum where the fight for our rivers started and gave birth to NACA. After much investment and negotiation the barbel fishery on what is known as Ketteringham's syndicate fishery is now on track to see its way back to the hay days when double figure barbel were regular vistors to the bank in this stretch of the Wensum.

The site is more than a celebration of NACA as an angling club, its testimony to the dedication of the work of its members and Committee. It real purpose is to continue to deliver a visible presence of what is being achieved and to offer information and guidance through documentation of the Assocaitions achievements and to display the results that are being achieved by anglers focused on managing both their fishing and the environment in which it is practiced.
