Legalities & seasons...
 

Hello all

I'm new to all this, and I'd like to start line-fishing in the Thames north
of Oxford. I'm just wondering if there are definitive seasons for certain
areas or species, and the dates themselves if they apply, like with hunting.

Or is this up to the discretion of the licence issuers? Is there an Oxford
network out there? (I tried google...)

Any links/feedback much appreciated

When coarse fishing in rivers you may begin on June 16th and stay until
March 14th. Rod licence from the Post Office.

Network? There are a couple of fishing clubs iIrc, details from local
fishing tackle shops.

Cheerio,

The thames angling guide is a most useful publication.
Obviously the Thames is subject to the open/closed season.
Most private fisheries - like the excellent Richworth-Linear are open all
year round and offer good fishing for most species. (Just between
Witney/Oxford/Wantage)
