Wandle
After thirty five Christmases in Hereford, I find myself at daughter Ursula’s house in Morden. The river Wandle is over the road and I’ve heard that there are some coarse to be caught. I just need a ticket….
Trouble is, the fish just don't read the books......

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!

Re: Wandle
I'm pretty sure Ravensbury park is still free and with some lovely fish to be caught

Re: Wandle
I’ve walked it with friends but never fished. It’s very well cared for and there are lots of easily accessible spots ….. plus a few where I saw good fish that aren’t quite as accessible such as from a pavement over railings! If you are going for a wander, take a long handled landing net!

Re: Wandle
As Bob the Float says Ravensbury Park is an excellent place to start and its free. I like to start at the bridge at the opposite end of the park to the water mill and work my way down. Its a roving venue really and a bit of wading can be productive. I always fish light here and trot maggots or worms for roach and chub but some people use heavy gear and luncheon meat for barbell. I find early mornings or dusk fishes best.

Well what a great series of replies, knowledge and information. Very many thanks gentlemen. I’ve got everything I need now, except fishing tackle !!
We’ll be back though - we have three children living close by
Thank you all again and I hope that you all have a super festive break ….
