Don't forget to buy your new rod licence

For those that have not been trying their hand at commercial waters, it’s very important you remember to get yourself a new rod licence.

The first weekend is nearly always a busy time and you can expect to see Environment Agency bailiffs out and about checking to make sure everyone fishing has the required rod licences.

To get one you can visit the official government website and purchase your rod licence online via https://www.gov.uk/fishing-licences/buy-a-fishing-licence.

You can also get one from the Post Office in person or you may want to contact the Environment Agency direct to purchase one over the phone.
