Firstly, please be aware of the law..
The Environment Agency law states that if you are over the age of 12 years old you MUST have a valid rod licence to fish for freshwater fish, eels, trout or salmon in England, Wales or the Border Esk in Scotland.
This includes all private waters and fisheries like ours
(even your own garden pond).
Here is the website address for the environment agency so you can get your rod licence on line. We will not ask to see your licence but we recommend that you always have it with you when fishing.
You are allowed to fish 2 rods per licence.
The NRA man is very keen in this area so you have been warned and he will fine you for the slightest discrepancy.
