Which London river is this?

[Paul Collins]

Came across this a few days ago, first thought was that it was probably the Lea but I don't recognise the location. Possibly the Wandle? Anyone know? Not going to be rushing down there, just curious.

 

[Neil Smart]

Lea, Wheathampstead?

 

[Paul Whiteing]

I've no idea Paul, but at the beginning I'm pretty sure that's a London underground train. Maybe a red herring but perhaps that rules out the upper lea?

 

[Paul Collins]

Lea, Wheathampstead?

That's my home patch and it's definitely not.
There's a white painted bridge shown a few times, should be a pointer.
Nearest tube station to Wheathampstead must be at least 20 miles away.

 

[Dave Collins]

It's the Wandle.

 

[Paul Collins]

Thanks for that.

A far cry from the Wandle I remember as a kid, lived on Wandle Bank, behind Merton bus station from 1950 (aged 1), until 1968. The only fish in it then were sticklebacks!

He is a bit of menace that kid. Virtually everywhere he fishes is somewhere he shouldn’t be. He knows this but argues the toss and thinks he’s a smart arse.

He'd fit in well on here then

 

[Richard Parsons]

The upside possibly being that he's encouraging youngsters to try angling as a pastime.

Agreed on that point. Although fishing places that forbid it etc doesn’t paint “the community” very well.

Tbh I’d say this forum is pretty light on the keyboard warriors. Certainly in comparison to some others I’ve been involved with. This time of year though when we’re off the banks seems to bring out the grinch... HaHa.

TBH I quite enjoyed his video , he certainly knew how to catch em . I thought he '' protesteth too much '' when covering himself against the accusation of killing the trout, but that aside he caught the atmosphere and excitement of his urban fishing experience very well
