Hi Halfordian

I'm based in London. Caught my biggest ever grayling on the Itchen a
couple of days ago, an hour away from the centre of London (and I don't
have an automobile - train and bicycle).

As Mike says, it's difficult, but not impossible. It tends to be
expensive, especially as the US economy is going down the tube at the
moment and London is currently the most expensive city in the world.

Peak time for river fishing is May, June. After that I'd go to
Ireland/Scotland/somewhere else.

I don't know about sea or lake fishing.

ps - like mike, if I were thinking of fishing somewhere in Europe,
Londo is about the last place I'd choose to begin.

When would a good time to come to London be, if I could find a way to
get off to fish? I wonder about fishing from the beach as much as any
flowing water.

I ask because I am scheduling a class at some time in the future
that's fairly flexible (2-4 months out) so any help would be very much
appreciated.

Would it be just too much of a hassle to be worth it or could it be
something cool? If I recall, it was you that showed me (years ago) how
to tie that baltic sea worm through twisting? Love to chuck some of
those bad boys, though I actually did cast one just the other day for
bass, though it was on one of those 107 degree days that everything
was working, so I opted for a popper.

Thanks very much,

Tim
