Fishing Licence

[THFC]

Alright everyone,

got a stupid question regarding fishing licence, when you buy a fishing licence, is that for public places like the local rivers etc, do you still need to buy one if you go to a lake, or is that why lakes charge alot more money?

 

I've always brought one, even though I mainly go to lakes now, and I was just wondering if you still need to buy one, even for the lakes

[jeepster]

you need a licence whereever you fish (except the sea) the reason some lakes charge a lot more money is because they can!

incidently the only times i've ever had my licence checked have been at commercial fisheries

My local lake cost £6 for a day ticket and £1.50 for extra rods. Daylight robbery! I get there as early as possible and fish till dusk to get my monies worth!

that isnt too expensive.

The reason they charge to fish is due to the cost to run ,stock ,and insure a lake.

But i must admit,the only time i have ever been asked to produce my license is at a private fishery.

Don't expect to not get asked wherever you go. I fish river Ure and a few nearby lakes. I nearly always get asked for my license. Most of the bailiffs know me now and only say "Ah my american friend.. Caught ought?" :confused:

 

And then... "You wot?" "Those aren't swan shot."

A relative of mine bought himself a fishing diary for next year. In it, it states that a licence allows you to fish FOUR rods if fishing for course fish and eels.

Is there going to be a change next year, or is the diary wrong???

Anyone shed any light on this??

The diary is wrong you need two licences for 4 rods. And only if the fishery/club allows it.

Got to say that that doesn't sound too bad depending on whether or not it's stocked, maintained, facilities etc. Where else near you can you fish a lake for less, then? :confused:

You say that 2 licsences are needed for 2 rods, so does that mean when i see people fishing with 3 rods on carp lakes, that they need 2 licsences. Just as most of them don't.
