As an angler it is most important for you to know that anyone aged
12 years or over who fishes for salmon, trout, freshwater fish or
eels in England and Wales must have an Environment Agency Rod
Fishing Licence.
A rod licence is a statutory requirement (in other words it is
required by law) and entitles the licensee to use a rod and line to
fish. Rod licences are issued by the Environment Agency. They
differ from permits (often referred to as tickets or day tickets)
which give permission to fish a particular water or waters and are
issued by fishery owners, angling clubs and so on.
Rod licences can be purchased from any Post Office in England and
Wales.
We remind all anglers that the Closed Season is 15th March to 15
June inclusive applies to Waveney-owned waters.
If you would like to talk about fishing in the district please
