Before you fish in fresh water in England & Wales, you must obtain a National Rod Licence issued by the Environment Agency. These can be obtained from any Post Office, or online from the EA website. This National Rod Licence does not entitle you to fish on any waters. These waters are usually leased to clubs who control day-to-day fishing on their stretch. Most clubs allow non-members to fish for a daily fee. This is paid to a club bailiff when they identify themselves to the angler. However, when finding a suitable site, the angler must check on nearby bridges that no club or British Waterways signs are visible prohibiting day fishing, or specifying that permits must be purchased in advance. Some angling licences can be bought on line from the Environment Agency website.
