Most likely, when you think of London, you immediately imagine architectural objects, landmarks, traditions of the royal family, double-decker buses and modern business centres. But it is unlikely that you will first of all think of fishing. Nevertheless, this type of activity exists in the city and is quite popular. Learn more about the main features of fishing in London and find answers to questions that concern every angler at londonname<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A variety of water bodies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first association with fishing in London is the River Thames. The city’s main river is indeed a great place to spend time with family or friends and catch fish. However, there are a lot of other smaller rivers flowing through the capital of Great Britain. Local canals and lakes also impress with their appearance and variety of fish life. In addition, the banks of the Thames are usually very crowded. This river is a good option if you are going to fish from a boat. In general, experienced fishermen choose quieter and deserted locations in order to calmly cast the fishing rod and wait for the catch in harmony with nature. You will find many rivers that flow into the Thames on the London map. One of them is the River Wandle. Its banks feature incredibly beautiful green zones, as well as perfect spots for fishing. Its waters are very clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canals are also very suitable places for fishing. Their only drawback is that there are very few of them in London. Having found one of them, you can easily reach the water and comfortably settle down for fishing. The canals feature a large number of various fish, which are difficult to find in other reservoirs of the city. Obviously, the most popular locations are fishing lakes and ponds. In such places, you can meet both beginners in this type of activity and experienced fishermen. Everyone will find their own special catch here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of fish can be caught within the city limits?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The variety of fish in London’s reservoirs is truly impressive. Here, you can catch carp of quite a large size and amazing colour. Most fishermen are hunting for this very fish. There is also a chance to catch pikes in local water bodies. Most often, this fish occurs on the outskirts of London, so it is usually hunted from a boat. Perch, zander, bream, tench, chub, barbel and other fish swim in many local rivers and canals. For connoisseurs of something more special, there are many lakes within the city that serve as a habitat for trout. You can also go fishing for sea fish in London. Sometimes eel, flounder and mullet get to the close-to-see rivers, but you will still have a better chance of catching such fish if you go outside the city limits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to enjoy fishing without violating the law? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In London, there are certain rules and regulations that must be followed by anyone who wants to fish. As in many European countries, any fisherman must obtain a licence, which legally allows them to fish. If you are new to this business, you can buy a “one-time” licence. It will provide an opportunity to learn basic fishing skills, and generally, understand whether you like this type of activity. However, a licence for a year is obviously more advantageous. It costs about \u00a335, which is much more economical than paying \u00a36 for one day. Still, this document isn\u2019t everything you need for legal fishing. You should also obtain permission from the angling club that owns the area. If a canal or river doesn\u2019t belong to a particular council, then permission can be granted by a government agency. So, fishing in London is interesting and scenic, but only if you follow the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
