Anyone fished here before? Its quite close to me and i just wondered if anyone has been and what it is like.
I used to live in Chigwell with my mum so would have been a treck, But last month i moved in with my girlfriend to Loughton so really its only walking distance!
Where abouts do you live then matey? Guessing your in this area also
The Roding from Debden is free still produces good fishing if you know what your doing . Go light and rove best bait lobs. I am not sure about the forest ponds you cannot fish Eagle pond any more by snaresbrook court and I think they have a close season on the ones you can still fish these days.
I work on the industrial estate opposite the river at debden, and have spent many a lunchtime walking the banks with my polaroids on - and apart from the minnows, i've seen nought! mind you, the last few months you cant get close with the amount of water pushing through!
That is when to fish it when its up find the slacks and back eddies and you will fid the fish . I have fished the Rodin fo over fifty years and can count the amount of fish I have spoted on two hands. The fish will see you long before you see them. Early and late are the best unless you know where the deep holes are. When it warms up walk the river in the river check out the undercuts with a stick and wear a life jacket you will be surprisd at what you find good luck.
Mart have you fished the Buckhurst hill lake?
Thats a shame, Whats the chances of getting caught at a pond in the forrest though..
