Is it illegal to take home coarse fish and eat them

So if you are fishing a, "free" water, i.e. a stretch of water which
isn't owned by a club/sole owner etc, then theoretically you can take
home any fish you catch. Or would you have to contact the environment
agency instead as i would assume they become the default owner?

I would guess that most free fishing is technically owned by local
councils.

Local councils will have by-laws covering stretches of water that they
are responsible for. These in conjunction with Water authorities which
may have additional laws. I would suspect that taking fish away would
be prohibited and the angler who does so without permission or on
assumption it might be ok should not be allowed to own a rod.

No law against eating coarse fish. You need the consent of the owners of fishing rights, this is unlikely to fisheries management in the upcoming rough. The attitude of the manager to take a game fishing rough fish may be completely different.

Medium-sized pike trout tends OK. the best size to be taken Control population. There are some in the vicinity they allow Coarse fishing, fishing in the race, on condition that all the Pike Killed. If you really do big, you get to kill hundreds of jack.
