THE RIVER LARK
The River Lark rises south of Bury St. Edmunds and flows north-west across Suffolk and into Cambridgeshire, where it joins the Great Ouse near Prickwillow. In its upper and middle reaches the Lark is a lowland chalk stream, supporting a diverse array of plant and animal life. The water quality in the river is generally very good and as a result , it is teeming with life, with everthing from tiny invertebrates up to mammals such as otters. Over 20 different species of fish are found in the river.
FISHING ON THE RIVER
The Lark Angling and Preservation Society controls the fishing on approximately twelve miles of river, from Lackford near Bury St. Edmunds out into the Fens. The first five miles or so operates as a fly only trout fishery; from Barton Mills downstream it becomes a mixed coarse fishery. The Lark is a diverse little river that varies in character around almost every bend, and with such a wide range of fish species present it allows the angler to fish just about every conceivable method, from stalking chub and grayling on fly fishing gear to specimen carp tactics.
