Fishing from a boat.
Unlike the Scottish Lochs, or many lakes in Britain that are made from deep quarries, the Norfolk Broads are fairly shallow, in fact so much so that on one or two of them there are navigation channels marked out by black and red stakes in the water. Small boats can be moored a short distance outside of these channels if they have a mud anchor, or you can drop anchor anywhere out of the traffic flow in most of the Broads. Fishing is obviously best in quiet undisturbed water, so if possible it is best to let the boat drift into position. Remember that it is illegal to move a boat with a line in the water, or with a keep net. Mooring at the bank is usually free, but there is a charge in a very few places, usually signposted. Also you may not moor and fish on a bank which is private property. Creeks and backwaters off the main river can provide good sport, but get permission from the owners to use private boatyard areas.
