I've been so busy in work plus chasing membership fee's from forgetful
members in my fishing club and repairing styles etc on the river beat, I
completely forgot to buy a new license myself!!

I purchased online about 30 mins ago. Sheesh!


Hi mate! I have a couple of questions for you as I've not been fishing
for ages. I hope you or others can help.

The last time I went fishing was the late 80's early 90s, so there was
no rod license back then, just some water authority type of license.

This license from the Environment Agency, I don't completely
understand it.

If I wanted to fish on a river for Brown Trout, I would just choose
the non-migratory trout and course license right? What if I caught a
sea trout or salmon by accident though? This is the part I don't
understand.

Is the Salmon and Sea Trout license just for people who take home the
fish to eat?

I also don't understand why there is such a difference in price? It
seems to be about three times more expensive for the salmon and sea
trout license.

Is this the only license I need to fish anywhere in the country except
for private grounds?

If I have two fishing rods, does this mean I can only use one at a
time?

And finally just one more question. Is there a certain time of year
when I can't fish anywhere, on any waters? If so when is it? Or does
it vary in different places? How would I find out that info?

Cheers

John
