About the River Lark
The River Lark rises at Bradfield Combust, south of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. It flows through Bury, Mildenhall and Prickwillow, crosses into Cambridgeshire, and joins the River Great Ouse south of Littleport. It is about 31 miles long, and about ten miles of it can be navigated.
The Wild Trout Trust says the river rises in a band of late Cretaceous chalk. Lower down, from Isleham, it runs in an artificial cut through the fens, and the old course of the Great Ouse is now the Lark. A side weir above Barton Mills feeds the Cut-off Channel.
Brown trout, wild and stocked, are fished on the upper river near Bury St Edmunds, where a local angling society holds more than twelve miles. Below that it is mainly a coarse river with large numbers of signal crayfish. The trout water is members only, so check the details before you plan a day.
