This is a quick reminder to the river anglers and people who fish lakes which observe the old close season. Please make sure that you get yourselves a rod licence before the 16th June opening. Remember that if you intend to fish with more than two rods you need two licences. Rod licences can be purchased at the Post Office, Online or over the phone from the Environment Agency.

Just a final reminder that your rod licence expires today. A £2000 fine and criminal record is no joke. See previous blog for more details.

This is just a reminder that it’s getting to that time of year when you need to renew your rod licence. Your current licence expires on 31st of March so make sure you renew it as soon as you can. Don’t forget that if you use more than two rods you need two rod licences. The penalty for not having a current licence are quite severe, you can be fined up to £2500 and receive a criminal record, so it’s not worth the risk. You can purchase licences from your local post office, online at www.environment-agency.gov.uk/fish or by phone on 08708 506 506 and cost £27 each.

Just a final reminder to anyone intending to fish this year that last years rod licence has now expired. Please make sure that you obtain a new rod licence for the coming season because as I have mentioned before the penaltys for getting caught without one can be severe. If you intend to fish with three or more rods you will need two licences. You can obtain your rod licence at the post office or online. Remember to keep the number that they give you safe (see previous blog on rod licence system changes).

Just a quick word to let you know about the new rod licence system. When you renew your rod licence this year whether at the Post Office or online you will be given a unique reference number. Keep this number safe and with you when fishing as this will be proof, should you be asked for your licence, that you have paid. You will receive a credit card style licence through the post in due course.
