Spending quite a lot of time in the week up in London at the moment.Getting bored so any sugestions for some local fishing? Nothing to serious just something fun and casual?

Not sure if it's worth trying the Wandle for trout? Other than that, Bury Hill isn't too far to go, and usually turns up some good catches: http://www.bury-hill-fisheries.co.uk/

Thanks for all the replies lads most apreciated.

 

I had forgot about Marsh Farm! Didnt really think of its location in regards tp Mitcham! will definately give there another go as its relatively close.

 

The Wandle was my first thought (I love river trouting and dont get much chance to do it) Remember seeing it on the recent Accidental Angler program.Charles struggled though and he seemed a very competent river trout angler so I must presume that it would be a bit hit and miss.Maybe if Charles is still looking in he wouldnt mind PM ing me a few pointers?

 

Ive passed Fine Line a couple of times as its only just up the road from where Im staying.My girlfriends boys dont rate Seven Islands though! will still take a look though.

Don't y'all have that big old river running right through London?

We do, but it's the close season for river coarse fishing until June 16th, and I think the only trout fishing is on the weirs, for which you need a special permit:

Or there's always eel fishing, I suppose...

Ah, Mitcham! I used to live there! Gerry's in Wimbledon is good for info. I ended up driving down the A3 into Surrey tbh - the Wandle is a lovely little river but it's hardly relaxing fishing. Some of the Surrey clubs like Farnham are worth a look - only about 45 mins away. Good luck!

I would definately recommend Farnham Angling Society (FAS) what ever you fish for - they have a range of waters all around Surrey, Hampshire & Berkshire. You can have a look at their waters on their website: www.farnhamanglingsociety.com

 

Other clubs in the area include Godalming AS.
