Join HAHAS
Why you should join us
Preserving a tradition
Anglers have been fishing the Hampstead ponds for almost 300 years. But the available waters are becoming increasingly reduced as more ponds are closed and more restrictions are put in place. By joining HAHAS you can make your voice heard and help preserve this valuable resource.
Love the Heath
HAHAS recognises that very many people love Hampstead Heath. As anglers, HAHAS is committed to preserving this fragile environment and working in harmony with all other interest groups.
The next generation
Are you thinking of taking your children fishing? Fishing is a great way for families to bond together and it also teaches youngsters of today there is more to life than ipads, iphones and Xboxes. Fishing also gets children outside in the fresh air and lets them experience the wonders of wildlife and nature as well as the art of patience.
