Today we are out with officers from Kent police and the Environnment Agency on a joint operation in north Kent looking for people without a rod licence or who are poaching fish.
The shooting fishing and hunting community has to work closely with the police. Firearm licences, rod licenses and hunting within the law bring us all together. However, the Countryside is full of rich pickings -- metal, machinery and animals are all unfair game - which is why rural crime squads exist all over the nation.

At a great fishing venue outside Droitwich the owner, a guy over 70 years old, was beaten up by a gang of eastern europeans who poached on his lakes for carp a few years back. He was so injured that he sold off his lakes for fear that he'd be killed next time. That's no way to end your career. These people aren't "just" fishing illegally, they are thugs.

@jacobprescott396 3 года назад

I’ve often wondered that... so I contacted them to ask them. They said in the north of England most people purchase salmon and migratory trout licences so apparently all the money goes into upper courses of rivers that predominantly contain salmon and sea trout. That’s how they can justify only giving a **** about one part of the country/river and not the other.

@MrChrissy1r 6 лет назад

I do buy a rod licence every year, ever since I was old enough to need one,, however, I do begrudge it, because virtually none of it spent on the waters,it is a tax on a tax, it goes into the coffers of the government department and squandered on all and sundry. Furthermore it is one law for them and one for us,, people are prosecuted for transferring fish, and or pollution,, but the E,A are biggest culprits,, I recall a few years ago they released and supplied a huge quantity of deliberately bred fish, from their stock,s, which proved to be diseased and wiped out a lot of private waters they had supplied,,, did they then prosecute themselves ? No is the answer,, and as far as I know, none of the private waters that were infected were compensated either!!

@@chesterfield5704 hold on a second though. Where I live there are no environment agency coaches or angling/canal river trust coaches. They don’t make fishing accessible AT ALL. I personally know people that struggle to fish because of this... and they don’t care about disease control. A recent case of crayfish disease has shown me that, who did they blame it on? The general public of course. Why should we be paying for a company that’s just lining it’s own pockets. No work ever gets done. It’s always down to angling clubs to police and protect their local waters. The EA and the whole rod licence thing is a complete joke and needs a complete re-work.

In the last 10 years I've had to contend with gangs of Roma fishing every single day through the week, taking decent fish out, lighting fires on the banks, leaving cans and litter, etc. I put fish back, there is only so many in a given swim and I often catch the same fish week in week out, a commercial wouldn't allow them on, would they? I'm paying to fish, as well as Roma to contend with, I've got Yorkshire water releasing raw sewage in to the river, the bankside trees are littered with tampons!

at no point are you required BY LAW to answer any bailiffs/police questions, your right to remain silent doesn't begin when you're informed of it.

stellahead wrong, when your fishing you are required by law to prove you have a license to fish. Almost any other time you are right.

Unfortunately, it sounds good on the internet, not so much in front of a district judge who has actually practised law. Acts form part of our recognised legal system along with orders, regulations, byelaws and common law. Judges will still find you guilty and convict you regardless, they may add on a contempt charge depending how clever you are with them.

Ahh, so good to see plod finding time to wander the banks of rivers, canals and ponds. Nice little job, getting well paid for a riverside walk. Makes a change from plodding along urban areas; many of which are far too dangerous for a walk due to criminal types. Presumably, if they have this much spare time, plod must have cleared the backlog of unsolved crimes (or 'incidents' as they refer to them, to keep 'crime' levels down)? Before anyone asks, yes I do own a rod licence, and have never been fishing without one in nearly 40 years.

@CristiNeagu 4 года назад

The problem i have with this whole system is that you have to pay for a rod licence to the government, then you also have to pay for a licence to fish a particular water, and you're not allowed to keep any fish! If there's so many licences needed, then anglers should be allowed to take fish. Why don't you work on the same principle the National Trust works on? People buy a rod licence, and then the government pays the venues where people go and fish. And i'd also be curious to know what exactly are anglers paying for with all these licences. Is anyone ensuring there are plenty of fish in the waters? ALL the waters? Is anyone ensuring there are good fishing spots set up everywhere? That there are facilities at every fishing spot?

What a lot of people dont know is that you can take up to 15 fish, up to 20 cm long, a day from any river in the UK. Most rivers are stocked with fish, if you have a license the fee's go towards up keep of the water, it also provides permission to take 15 coarse fish, up to 20 cm. 1 pike up to 60 cm. 2 grayling up to 30 cm, I think. and any fish for live/dead baiting as long as they're used there and then.

Does one licence cover all rods or do you have to have a licence for each rod you are using? Sounds like a money grab to me.

In my day the only official we had to worry about was the bailiff making sure we a day ticket!
