Thank you for your comment - Eileen. Comment by Dan posted on on 17 April I fish on privet property where the EA have not been seen for over 6 years now and that was only to check licences. Another thing is, the rod licence it self only covers you for 2 rods!!!! I have 1 driving licence and can own as many cars as I like!!! This issue needs to be sorted! From what I here on forums it sounds like there's a lot of people on the pay roll that do nothing all for the massive amounts of money they are on.
Stop robbing us of are money. There's 64 million people live in England. But your saying only 1 million people brought a licence. Sorry but you can not lie like that!!! There's probable about 1 million carp anglers alone, of which half buy 2 licences!!
So that's not including all the match anglers, pike anglers, fly fishing anglers and many more. Think its about time you lot start being more truthful on how much money you receive. The truth is on the internet if you look hard enough. Comment by Tomo posted on on 28 April Whether you've had your licence checked or not you should be proud of your honesty and contribution to the environment.
Well done. Comment by Geoff Wills posted on on 01 June Sorry to say ive been trying to buy licence online through post office and keep getting error foor few days now, this is very very poor. Comment by Environment Agency posted on on 02 June Hello Geoff, We are sorry to hear that you have experienced problems when using the Post Office website to buy a rod licence. The Post Office have said that the website is now up and working and rod licences can be ordered online.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Kind regards, Jayne. Comment by Chris Sinfiels posted on on 17 June I am the same as many anglers commenting here that it is very rare to be asked to show my license but my question is more about what I pay the money for.
I never fish on rivers and only ever go to private lakes on fisheries or farms, so why do I need a license? It is fine for people that fish the rivers, they probably do benefit because the water that they fish is monitored but it is probably mainly the people that use boats on the larger rivers that benefit from the money that I pay, also the game fishing rivers take a lot of the money raised by the course license holders, they get the quality assessments and control that the license fund pays for.
I really do not understand exactly why I need a rod license to fish private lakes when I actually get no benefit from it considering that the lake owners also gets no benefit that I can benefit from, in other words, it is a tax that I have to pay by law but does absolutely nothing at all for me. Comment by Environment Agency posted on on 17 June We use rod licence income to protect and improve all fisheries, both public and private — in fact the majority of fisheries in England are private fisheries whether the fishing is in a river or stillwater.
There are many examples of how all fisheries benefit from our rod-licence funded work. One example is fish health. Almost all private stillwater fisheries are stocked. We regulate between fish movements stocking and removals each year. Our fisheries laboratories carry out health checks and mortality investigations to prevent the spread of fish diseases, parasites and invasive non-native species. Comment by James posted on on 17 June There are always people maning about something for the price you pay for thr licence is not very much i think you do a good job.
Comment by Annoyed posted on on 19 August I only fish privately owned day ticket lakes. I pay the owner who runs and maintains the venue to do so, so why should I have to pay for a licence? I don't understand what business it is of anyone else! Comment by Brian posted on on 10 November I am 65 in January why can't I get a licence for 6months to take me to my birthday. Then buy a concession licence. Comment by daveferguson posted on on 11 November Good Afternoon, Treasury rules state that we must spend all income from rod licences within the financial year.
Having the main sales period in April gives us the most time to plan how best to spend it. Having all annual licences running between the same dates means we can concentrate our publicity campaigns and rod licence renewal reminders.
This keeps our costs and rod licence fees to a minimum. If we offered rod licences on a rolling basis with different start and end dates, we would need to send reminders and deal with the admin throughout the year.
This would result in extra costs that would have to be passed on to anglers. This system was set up following a public consultation in Short term licences are available for anglers who don't fish regularly.
Comment by Brian posted on on 11 November Is that fair because if I lived down south and wanted a Thames licence I would obtain from the age of sixty. Comment by daveferguson posted on on 16 November Hello As you say, The Thames Lock and Weir Permits have an age concession price for people that have turned sixty but, if purchased before reaching the age of sixty, a full adult fee would be payable.
These permits, like the rod licence, also run from 1st April to 31st March and are not available on a rolling basis. Comment by sam posted on on 27 December Hi I've just purchased a lake in Suffolk. Do the ea assume rights to check people fishing on my lake? Comment by daveferguson posted on on 08 January Hello Sam, Thank you for contacting us. The same Act also provides the powers for our enforcement officers to enter lands for the purpose of preventing any offence under the Act section Comment by Kef naylor posted on on 14 February All I read their was river river river did whelford pools get any help the buisness and fishery have been destroyed if your a day ticket lake in this country you get no finacial help what so ever from fishing rod licence money.
Comment by Jason Horne posted on on 26 March I have been fishing for 38 years, now I am in to fishing for carp and catfish. Most fisheries I go to allow three rods and I like to use this set up but I think it is wrong that I have to pay for four rods and I know this is a big issue with many anglers, why is it we can't buy a three rod licence Regards Jay. Comment by kathrynbooth posted on on 13 May We're currently considering a few changes to rod licences that could start from April , including a licence that allows a maximum of 3 rods as well as the current one for 2, a day licence that lasts for a full year from the date you buy it and a free junior licence for anglers under the age of 16 this could help get more young people fishing and secure the future of the sport.
We will advertise our full proposals in the angling press during summer of this year. At this point you will have an opportunity to provide comments. Comment by George posted on on 10 April Comment by Dave posted on on 27 May Been fishing for the past 10 years. This will be my 11th fishing licence. And i am yet to have it checked. I dont ever see anyone even checking around the pools we fish. No one but the men who fish them clean them out.
We report the units just up from hear for dumping stuff down the sewers which leak into the pools. There arnt any fishing pegs unless the people who fish once again have dug them out.
Cut down brush to get to the pools and make there own paths. So my question is in simple terms why are we giving u millions when u dont put a thousand pound back into the water u clame too?
No need for its the law i know thats why we buy the licence. The standard licence covers you to fish with up to 2 rods at a time, however if you are a specimen angler and wish to fish with three rods, you will need to buy a three rod licence. If you are aged between you need to get a free rod licence which can be obtained online or via the phone service. You cannot get a discount for a 1-day or an 8-day licence.
I fail to see ANY common law crime being committed nor either party seeking a third party to report a crime to or to recover, report or give witness to lost or stolen property. The issuing of a license in this scenario seeks to manufacture a victimless crime for the only intention of causing financial loss, physical harm, loss of property and denying the lawful rights to the fisherman? Hi I all ready have a trout and coarse x 2 rod license but want to target Salmon and sea trout, what license do I need to buy now.?
