- This was probably my favourite fishing session in ages. Fishing this amazing tiny secret London river produced some real surprises. Rudd, Roach, Carp, Chub, Tench and Perch all came out of this session. I was blown away!

You are becoming my favourite TH-cam angler. I used to live beside the Wandle in South London and never gave it a try, despite hearing tales of big fish. Must give it a try some day.
Thanks mate, I really appreciate the comment! 🙂 I've not tried the wandle yet, but I know it holds some cracking fish! I will have to get down there! 👍
You should check out 'Barbel fishing on a tiny London river'. It's the Wandle in Colliers Wood. Ps, i was brought up in the localish area.
What a session Andy! 🔥 So chuffed for you with that beautiful river carp! Great fishing and a beautiful secret river! 🎣👌
Thanks mate! It's a day that will live in my head rent free for laugh! It was a wonderful day! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 🎣🙂👍
What an urban gem that little river is what stunning examples of coarse species just awesome its cheered me up im in my bivvy on the banks of a scottish loch freezing lol cheers andy top angling
Thanks mate! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd take a Scottish lock over east London any day... Maybe not the cold though! I hope it warms up and the fish start showing! Thanks for all the comments and support! 😀
Thats was brilliant, what a great little stream, got everything in there !!. Really enjoyed that footage.
This remains one of my favourite ever fishing sessions and videos too! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 🙂👍🎣
Very good fun. Just shows what's in them tiny streams. Thanks for sharing your day
Thanks mate, this day will live in my memory forever! Such an enjoyable session. Thanks so much for watching commenting 😃👍🎣
Best fishing channel on TH-cam !
Thanks Chazie! Means a lot!.🙂Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😀👍🎣
Hi Andy, great video mate.
It just goes to show what fun you can have on these tiny waterways that are so often completely overlooked by anglers that only want to catch 20lb+ carp in overstocked lakes.
I thought the chub was a blinder but to catch the carp as well ....top man
Thanks for the comment Richard, glad you enjoyed it! It was a blinding day, a lot of luck on the day, but well worth the trip down, and certainly beats sitting behind some buzzers on a lake! 😀👍
Wow. What a surprising little video. Unless you could see the fish its the kind place you'd look at and think its so narrow and shallow that there's probably nothing in it except minnows and stickleback. That was a right magical session for you. I bet you definitely weren't expecting that.
love your videos, used to live in tottenham and fished the lea valley for years and any other rivers/streams i could find keep showing the joy of fishing ...your a breath of fresh air...
Thanks mate, I appreciate the comment 🙂 I'll keep trying 😃👍🎣
Surprise fishing his the best. Lovely little stream.
Yeah I love it! I'll never forget that day! 👍😀
Excellent video, you certainly are an inspiration to me , your enthusiasm is addictive, great session on such a tiny brook/ stream. Keep them coming matey,
Thanks so much mate, I really appreciate it! 😀🎣👍glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching and commenting!
First i heard of The Budget Angler and I really enjoyed the small river video ..Thanks Andy I have said many times that some good fishing can be had in streams and small rivers..I hope you make some more videos like this...Good luck Andy..
Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment! This is a real red letter day for me, I love fishing the places that are less well known. I've found some cracking spots over the years. I hope you find some of the my other films you like. That's again 😃👍🎣 fish on!
Another cracking video, keep up the good work. Great to see healthy rivers around London. Wasn’t expecting carp in their...
Thank you mate! Yes a real shock! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing 😀
Your most enjoyable video yet in my opinion Andy. A cracking fishing session. Keep 'em coming mate.
Thanks Colin! It's probably one of my most enjoyable sessions! 😀 that carp was such a thrill! 😀👍
I'm revelling in your joy at the end of this video mate. Nice when a bit of fishing success can make you feel like that. Keep up the vids 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Nick, yeah it was a pukka day, I really enjoyed it... as you can probably tell 😅 glad you enjoyed it! Tight lines mate 👍
Second video of yours I have watched, think I'm hooked (no pun intended) great to see so much pleasure got from simple fishing, what fishing should be all about. Love it. Well done mate.
Thanks for the Kind words mate! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

Fantastic session there Andy! Great to see that carp come out at the end too 👏👏👏
Cracking video , lively and exciting all the way through
Thanks Malcolm I'm glad you enjoyed! 😀
What a great little river that is. Lets just hope it stays that way
Yes indeed 👍
Great stuff mate, your excitement says it all, looks great fun on that little stream.
Cheers mate! Yeah it was quite the session! I think I was getting delirious by the end! 🤣
Fantastic fishing from a tiny stream👍
Cheers mate! Well happy with this little session 😀
Congrats!! What a super session 👊🏻
Thanks mate, yeah It was a bit of a red letter day! 😀
Excellent video! I regularly fish the wandle and that's a lovely productive river. Never had carp, trench or rudd out of there though. Keep posting great videos!
Thanks mate, I appreciate the comment, not fished the Wandle yet, hopefully I can get down there at some point! Glad you enjoyed it! 👌 tight lines 🎣
Great video, thank you for posting this. I live locally to this stream and you have shown great little fishing spots 👍🏻
Excellent! Thanks for watching and commenting 😃
Aaron we’re abouts is this river if u don’t mind
What interesting fishing.....
That's one way to describe it! 😅 thanks for taking the time to watch an comment as always! 👍🎣😀
Great fishing mate, my dad used to catch big carp, bream, roach, tench, chub and pike down my local river but it has been ottered in recent years, he has had carp to 15 pound and he’s seen them to 30 down there, so it’s great to see wild carp still about
Thanks mate, sounds great! yes an interesting point you raise there, we don't have them in London as far as I know but they've done some damage in Norfolk! 😔
@@TheBudgetAngler yeah I live in Norwich and the yare and wensum have both been battered by the otters. Such a shame but the rivers are slowly producing better fish
What an amazing days fishing .. top man
One of my favourite days, on budget tackle and in the pandemic. I have such fond memories of this day..Thanks for taking the time watch and comment! 😃👍🎣
Great video that tiny river is awesome looking forward to you're next video great stuff 🎣👍👍
great little video mate, loved it, i'm sure your not too far from me! some lovely mixed bag!!! weldone!
Thanks Barrie, appreciate the comment! Glad you enjoyed it. Tight lines and look after yourself 🎣👌
Proper fishing that. I fish a lot of commercials nowadays, never get the same buzz as a proper wild venue. Hard to believe that's in London.
Thanks Chris, yeah it's a bit of a find, a very enjoyable session, bit of a red letter day! Glad you enjoyed it! 😀🎣
Incredible video! 7 ft rod? Superb fishing, such a nice and healthy fish and great tiny stream!
Thanks very much! It's an 8ft rod! A great session and some of my favourite footage I have caught! 😃👍🙌
looks like you had some epic fun fishing there :)
Yes it was certainly a cracking day! Thanks for watching mate! 🙂🎣
wow what a carp in that small stream fantastic. great fisherman :)
Thanks Cass, and for all your comments and support 😀
Great content and love your attitude. Keep up the brilliant work buddy 👍
Thank you mate, thanks for watching 👍
Just Subscribed, your enthusiasm is a joy to watch, your laughing when you caught that Carp reminds me of watching videos of the late John Wilson R.I.P. Keep up the work.
Thanks so much for the kind words and the sub, I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video! Tight lines and stay safe! Fish oN!. 😃😀

Unbelievable fantastic spot for fishing....love your videos...good luck
Thank you mate! Appreciate the support 👍
Great spot you’ve found there. Some good catches as well. Keep up the good work 😄
Cheers mate, yes it was a real surprise! Well happy I went 😃
Great video again Andy, well done mate, very entertaining videos.
Great fishing, I know exactly the spot your fishing, fished these rivers for years, used to see a ghost carp in there aswel 15 years back
Great stuff !!!
TY mate, 😃
Very nice looking fish, grwat condition they are, great little spot mate, 👌
Thank you mate! Yeah I'm really pleased I went, it was great fun! 😀
Absolutely brilliant, I need a good little river to fish, my local the Roding is practically dead now
Thanks mate, yes it was a real gem! I've fished the roding at Ilford a couple of times, only got tiddlers though! 🤷
@@TheBudgetAngler It used to be good around Chigwell way and Woodford. All over grown now, only see tiddlers. Used to catch 3lb+ chub regular even a few decent pike. Keep up the good work mate I will be watching more even if it helps me find a new place to try out. 👍🏻
Been fishing this river for years now and some of the fish are lovely had a 5lb chub and a 5lb common out of there if u know this river you know there are some nice 5ft deep pools along other bits of this river plus how good the fishing and fish can be .. keep up the good work
Thanks for commenting and watching mate, yeah it's a fantastic little river. One of London's gems! 😃👍🎣
We’re about is this river if u don’t mind
i know precisely where that is because i cleared the dead poplar tree at 1.45! haha i saw some cracking chub further on down. a lovely little river.
Oh wow! Nice one, it's a cracking little river, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 👍😃🎣
Good video Andy. I love little streams.
Thanks Mike, yes they can be very productive 👍
Lovely. I lure fished the river lea off Hackney wick today for 1 hour. Made me think of you lol. I didn't catch anything but saw and felt a small perch bite my lure! Unfortunately the lure was way too big for it.
Thanks mate, Nice, shame you didn't catch, it can be really hit and miss round there, I'll hopefully manage a little sessions down there soon, not been for ages 😀
Mate first a tench then the carp, those stunning rudd and the chub, cracking session and see you got a new landing net 😂 seriously thou great vid as always 👍🎣
Totally! A great little session, and such an unexpected location. Yeah it's random little net that I found in my Mum's garage 😆
Your videos are a proper inspiration I hope there a some youngsters watch what you do and pick up a a float set up thank you for the content 😉 👍👍
Thanks mate, yeah I I hope I can inspire a few people to get out and give it a go! 🙂 thanks for your comment 👍
That is totally amazing what a great little stream and those fish were fantastic colours and very healthy.
Thank you! 😃 I'm really pleased I went now, it was such a fun session 👍 Thanks for always watching and commenting 🙂
Talk about a productive little system
Yes, it's a great little system, and very unexpected. Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍
cracking little swim there mate
If u go further down over the road and into the woods you get nice size perch and roach and good size chub
Excellent micro-stream session
Thanks mate, yes It was one of the better sessions! 😀🎣
It's my first time to come across your channel and I found it very enjoyable great fish from such a little river just goes to show if you don't give it a try you'll never know what is in them makes me think of the rivers I pass and think that wouldn't hold any fish well I'll be giving them a try
Hi Derek, welcome to the channel, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! I can highly recommend trying the less usual places for fish! Where there's water there'll often be fish! 😃 tight lines 🎣
Just found your channel what great vids please dont stop great stuff
Welcome to the channel mate! I'll keep going as long as people want! Thanks for taking the time to comment! 😃
Great catch mate
Thanks mate😀👍
Love these vids Andy - something about catching from these small streams and rivers. In the winter I visit several small rivers where I live in Essex - great fishing . I’ll be looking at all your vids again through this lockdown. 👍👍
Hi Len, thanks very much for watching and the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos, I've moved further up the Lea Valley so will hopefully exploring some more stretches of the navigation. It would be lovley if I could find this quality of fishing in all the small streams. I'll be out this weekend trying some more in Hertfordshire. Thanks again for watching and commenting 😀
I would love to know where this is as i fish the ingrebourne but this looks amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Could you shed some light on where in south london it is would lovd to fish this small river looks amazing thank you
Funny, I was there the other week and it was nearly completely dry
That's a shame, there were some very shallow bits that were almost a trickle, when I was there, the deep spots will hopefully shelter the fish until we get some rain 👍
Nice video👍
Cheers mate! 👍
River shuttle ?
Never heard of it! 👀
Hello I’ve been fishing for quite a while now and don’t have a great budget to go fishing all the time if possible could u please give away what area or location as it would get me down on the river more often much appreciated, loving the videos keep up the great work 👍
Hi Mike, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment mate. I've been sworm to secrecy on this location I'm afraid.🤫😬 Good luck with your fishing 🎣
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the support every week! 😀😃😄😁
Great vid and fish. Shame about the ingrebourne vid. If there is too much ice flowing down the Roding or frozen over I go to Harold Wood park and trot a stick float . Years ago there were brown Trout and Barbel however the sewage treatment works wiped them out.
Yeah sure a shame, I've heard there are still barbel about on the Ingrebourne but not sure if it's Chinese whispers. A few people have posted some good bream coming out further down towards the Thames ☝️
Andy, top draw video!! Loved it! My only question is did you need a license or day ticket to fish this little jem? Regards from deepest Dorset 👍
Hi Clive, thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. The fishing here is "free" for want it a better term. The stream mostly runs through green spaces and woods managed by the Council, they don't currently manage the fishing here.👍
Thanks Andy, much appreciated 👍 will have a look round my local council land! Although I belong to a club, with some outstanding waters including the Hampshire Avon and Dorset Stour, we lack some of these intimate little jams! ATB Clive
Hello mate,
I live near this spot, is this river part of a club and need permission or is it open to fish (obviously as long as you have a rod license)?
Really appreciate if you or anyone can help answer this question as am quite keen to find out!
Thanks!
Hi mate, could you tell me the location please? I am new to fishing and the only location i know it’s quite far away from me if you could id appreciate it.
I’m going to have to take at closer look in my local rivers. Any chance of saying what river without giving away the area?
You should, I can't really say as I've been sworn secrecy! Although it's not hard to find if you know the area... and look at some of my previous FB posts 👍
Where is it please
We’re about is this
Sworn secrecy mate! Really sorry 😞 🎣
It’s nice to see some pure fish instead of all these hybrids and F1s
Definitely mate! I couldn't agree more! 👍
Near Danson park
Do you know where
