Take A Friend Fishing campaign runs from 3rd April to 12th April 2015

25/3/2015

“Take A Friend Fishing” (TAFF) is a campaign where UK anglers are being encouraged to take a person who they feel would benefit from a day’s fishing.

Remember when a friend or family member took you fishing when you were young or just starting out? We bet everyone has experienced a memorable session or two like that – sharing the bank with someone else is always more fun! – And with the Take A Friend Fishing campaign, there is the chance to take someone for FREE. If you make their day an enjoyable one, you should have another person to go fishing with for life and better still, allow your friends to see the enjoyment you get from Britain’s largest outdoor participated pastime.

New Agency rod licences revealed

2/3/2015

The Environment Agency has unveiled its new design for this year’s rod licences.

Designed by renowned angling and wildlife artist, David Miller, the new rod licences go on sale today (March 2) although the permit is not required until April 1.

The image on this year’s coarse fishing rod licence is a crucian carp (Carassius carassius).

Last year David’s artwork featured on a range of sustainable fish stamps for the Royal Mail.

Sarah Chare, head of fisheries at the Environment Agency, said: “Rod licence income is used to protect and improve fish stocks and fisheries for the benefit of anglers. We want more people to go fishing this year and everyone who does will need one of these licences.

“We’re delighted to see David’s stunning designs yet again which promote the beauty of our natural environment and encourage people to give fishing a go.”

David Miller, the artist who designed the rod licence, said: “Designing this year’s rod licence combines two of my passions: fishing and art. The Environment Agency does a fantastic job and I’m proud to be supporting rod licence sales with my artwork.”

At £27 for coarse fishing the annual licence is great value for money. There are flexible options to choose from too: a 1 or 8 day licence or the full season. There are also junior and concession options.

You can buy a rod licence online from the Post Office here, at your local Post Office or by phoning 0344 800 5386.

Buying a rod licence online from the Post Office website is easy, and saves both time and administration costs, meaning that more of the income can be spent on improving fish stocks and fishing. Always ensure that you buy direct from the Post Office because there are some unofficial websites which charge a handling fee.

Anyone fishing illegally is cheating other licence paying anglers, can expect to be prosecuted and face a substantial fine.

In 2013/ 2014 the Environment Agency checked 80,000 rod licences and prosecuted 2,795 anglers for fishing without a licence.
