WandleDuncan

Just as an update on this thread, I'm pleased to say the Wandle's well on it's way to recovery after last year's pollution incident. Plenty of people who've been fishing the Wandle have reported catching superb barbel, chub, roach, dace and some big trout too. Trout were spotted spawning for what's thought to be the first time in 100 years last winter. We've got an active fishing club going on at the Wandle Piscators as well as at the Morden Hall Angling Club, and we've been engaging in regular riverfly monitoring as an indicator of the health of the river, as well as starting out on some habitat work. Without wanting to tempt fate, it's looking quite rosy at the moment...
