Water at 21.6°C. This is the line where catch-and-release kills pike. Do not fish for them today.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

A good match for Alton Water — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Suffolk's largest body of inland water, run by Anglian Water as a coarse and predator fishery rather than a trout water. Pike, carp, bream and roach are the mainstay; bream and roach shoals are the volume, pike the reason most specimen anglers come. Bank fishing across a long, open shoreline that the wind works hard — the sheltered bays fish very differently from the exposed banks on the same day. Day and season permits, and under-18s fish free.
