About Hollow Ponds

Hollow Ponds is specifically included in the City of London Corporation's current list of waters where fishing is permitted in Epping Forest.

The statutory coarse-fishing closed season applies from 15 March through 15 June, and anglers need the appropriate rod fishing licence, with the published guidance noting the exemption for children under 13.
