rod licence

[strider]

does anyone know how much the rod licences will be this time round ? how much are they going to rob us this tme :confused:

[seph]

£23.50 from a Post ofice or £23.75 on line. I would hardly call it robbery either, as you do get a years fishing for it. That works out at just 45p a week

[jeepster]

one of the cheapest and best value bits of fishing tackle you'll buy, stop moaning and go and buy one

[craynerd]

Annoying it has an expiry date tho, only started fishin 1 month ago so spent £23 for 1 months fishing !!! gotta buy another now, well 2 as i wanna fish 3 rods!

How many times have you had your licence checked?

 

For me, it's only once, (at Wyreside, Dolphinholme)when these two guys came & asked to see my licence, I was so surprised at first I wasn't sure what they were on about.

 

Is the policing of it such, that it almost comes down to conscience whether you buy one or not?

do the licences apply in scotland?

I think the licence is still good value for money.

For those tempted to fish without one, don't! :mad:

 

Fish without one and you risk a substantial fine and getting your tackle conficated.

 

All licences are now logged onto a computer making it easier for the EA bailiff to check out your details should you see one on the bank.

 

I must admit to never having been asked to produce my licence, nevertheless, I still buy one every year. It's the law.

 

I also believe that if I have to buy one, why the hell should other people get away with not buying one. :mad:

"Normal person" can you define that please? :confused:

I consider myself 'normal' but I don't pay for a full licence.

 

Are you saying children,O.A.P's. and disabled are a differant class to 'normal' people?

Gotta agree with Ferret on this one C3P0, not expressed very well there fella!

 

Also, I'm far from normal & have been paying the full rate!

 

Townlad, I agree that the licence is good value. When I said it comes down to conscience I was referring to the fact they don't seem to get checked too often/if at all.

 

I think that there should be a requirement for private fishery owners to check them when selling day/season tickets for their water.
