During the season you will often see people fishing in the Lake.
The season when fishing is allowed runs from 16th June 2007 until 14th March 2008.
To fish you must first obtain a Wandsworth Council Fishing Permit and an Environmental Agency Rod Licence.
The Council Fishing Permit is available in the fishing information pack or contact the Park Office
