Posted on behalf of Steve Dedman:
River Wandle I write to inform you that it is now possible to fish the stretch of the River Wandle that runs through Morden Hall Park in South London. Previously this prolific stretch of river that runs through National Trust property was regularly fished illegally, mainly due to the angling press reporting it to be free fishing, causing the NT lots of problems. However, they have now agreed that members of the newly formed Morden Hall Park Angling Club are allowed to fish the water, the total membership is limited to 150. It was a stipulation of the NT that the club be formed for the benefit of local anglers and so full members are required to live within a three mile radius of Morden Hall. There were also 30 associate memberships available for those living outside the three mile radius and a limited number of day tickets are available from local tackle dealer 'outside pursuits'. Regards Steve Dedman Membership Secretary MHPAC |

Great stuff - | ||

the N.T.'s "for local people" stipulation. Good luck to the new club, I hope that it gets lots of Londoners (youngsters especially) into fishing. I saw on BBC1 TV London News just now that Thames 21 and the Parliamentary Angling Group led my Martin Salter MP plus some local kids were doing a publicity "fish" for the cameras at Docklands this morning - again, to encourage Londoners to try Angling. Can only be good for our pastime and for waters in the South East: if people use and value the latter, they won't be allowed to "go" quite so easily in the future.
