2 or 3 times a year. usually when I fish fund raising events or lakes in
public parks.
The EA visit our local lakes at least once a month and they take no
prisoners, every angler caught fishing without the proper licences get
prosecuted. They usually manage one or two anglers each visit. Most often
carp anglers using 3 rods and only owning one licence.
