Fishing Club Says “Give Angling A Go” at FREE Event

Hot weather makes it challenging

Robert Gibbs, HAHAS Chairman, reacts to the night fishing ban and puts the case for responsible, considerate anglers on The Heath.

Night-time fishing has been suspended at one of Hampstead Heath's ponds due to "antisocial behaviour".

The City of London Corporation (CoLC), which manages the heath, put out a statement saying any anglers caught fishing in the Vale of Health between 8pm and 8am will have their licences revoked.

A great start to the new season! Perfect conditions lead to anglers landing carp to 20lb and some superb tench.
