The City of London Corporation said that anyone found fishing on the pond during the banned hours may have their Hampstead Heath Angling Permit revoked.
Night fishing has been banned from one of the Hampstead Heath ponds after anglers held "rowdy" late sessions.
The chairman of the local angling club, Robert Gibbs, said the behaviour was down to "a few bad apples". Mr Gibbs, who runs the Hampstead and Highgate Angling Society, said tougher actions should be taken against bad behaviour and that ordinary anglers felt persecuted by the ban.: "Unfortunately, there are a few bad apples who seem to use late night fishing as an excuse for a rowdy time while leaving litter, which clearly upsets nearby residents and tarnishes the reputation of all anglers.
