Fishing in tiny ponds

clapham fishing

Sorry Martin but what is with the English fishing in tiny ponds? We lived near Clapham Common and often see people fishing in very small ponds. Do they catch any fish? We’ve never seen any. Lambeth council permit fishing in this pond for some reason but Hounslow council ban it on Feltham Pond. Despite a big sign saying ‘No Fishing’ it doesn’t stop the Feltham chavs dropping a line and swinging back a few Fosters.

Don’t get me wrong, I would much rather people fish than loiter, sell drugs, graffiti or sit on the bus playing loud music from their mobile. It just seems a very strange hobby especially given the caught fish would probably be smaller than this blog post.
