Dear all,

 

I am 15 at the moment, birthday in january, and obviously need to get a new licence soon. So at the moment am unsure what licence to get. What I need to know is what age does the junior licence go up to? Is it 16 or 18? Becuase I have asked others I know and have had varied answers. If I do need to get an adult licence, as I will turn 16 in the licence year could I get a junior licence up until my birthday and then not fish for the remaining two months?? Or just get the adult licence for the whole year? I am very confused on this subject... I've asked around with people I know fish and have had varied answers.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Dan.

That's a decent question actually - I just look at the EA website and can't find the answer. I think if you're between 12 and 16 inclusive you only need a junior licence, then from 17 onwards it's the full whack. I could be wrong though...

I know you dont need one till your 12 years of age but Im not sure when the "Adult" licence is required ie 16 or 18. Drop an Email to this address if no one can answer for sure on here-

 

enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

Yer I cant find it on the 'Environment Agency' website, I have been wondering this for a long time and now that it is time for me to get a new one then I thought I'd ask.

 

Thanks Anderoo for your helpfull response.

But 12 to 16 is more than a little ambiguous. Does it cut off at 16 or extend through to then end of his 16th year?

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I will leave this post for a few days and if then\ \i havent been given a clear answer then I will email the environment agency and ask them for the answer.

 

Any further replies helping with my problem will be greatly appreciated.

 

Tight Lines,

I think you will find it is your age at the time of purchase that matters. You are asked your current age on the form, not your age next birthday.

It's as clear as a carp puddle, but my interpretaion of the rule is that you can fish with a junior licence until the day you are 17, when you will need a full licence

 

Oh ok thanks. So I should just fish with my 'new' junior licence for the whole of next season and then get a new full adult licence for the next season.

 

Many thanks, and if anyone can show me on a website where they found out the info that would be great thanks.
