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.

The E.A. have, for reasons best known to themselves, included trout (a
game fish) in with coarse fish. Should you catch a Sea Trout (Sewin in
Wales) of Salmon you must release them unharmed to the watrer.

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


Salon and sea Trout License allows you to fish for the said fish at the
appropriate time of the year with rod and line. Youcan take them honme
and eat them if you wish except for Salmon which must be returned
unharmed if caught before 16 June in England and Wales.

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.

Tell us about it!!!

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


You need a licence to fish with rod and line whether the fishing is
public or private. Most fishing is private be it club water private
individual or stillwater.

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


A licence states you may fish with rod and line not two rods and lines.

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?


The licence will give you the information.

You may not fish for indigenous fish during the close season. Rainbow
Trout in stillwater fisheries are usually available all the year round.
Some reservoirs close fo the winter

The above are general comments which may or may not be entirely
accurate.
