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. Fishing is daytime only and must take place away from any area marked with a no-fishing sign. 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. Fish must be returned to the water, making this a catch-and-release public water rather than a commercial day-ticket fishery.
