Anglers fined hundreds for illegally fishing in Ironbridge and Shifnal

Two anglers have been fined hundreds of pounds for illegally fishing in Shropshire.

Michael Lee of Princes End, Dawley Bank, Telford, and Ronald Manboard, of

Coronation Road, Bilston, Wolverhampton, were fined for fishing without a licence after a prosecution by the Environment Agency.

Manbord was fined £300, and Lee £250. Both men, who pleaded guilty, were also ordered to pay costs of £100 and a victim surcharge of £30. The pair appeared at Telford Magistrates Court on July 12th 2017

Manbord, 57, was caught fishing without a licence on October 17th 2016, at Bayliss Pool, Shifnal.

Lee, 37, was caught on January, 22, 2017, fishing in the River Severn at Ironbridge.

Andrew Eardley of the Environment Agency said: “Most anglers enjoying the sport fish legally, but there continues to be small number of anglers who fail to buy a fishing licence. These few are cheating their fellow anglers and the future of the sport.

“An annual licence costs from just £30. It seems ridiculous that anglers risk significant fines and costs, a criminal conviction and the loss of their fishing equipment for such a small fee.”

Money from fishing licence sales is invested in England’s fisheries and is used to fund a wide range of projects to improve facilities for anglers including protecting stocks from illegal fishing, pollution and disease; restoring fish stocks through re-stocking; eradicating invasive species; and fish habitat improvements.

Licence money is also used to fund the Angling Trust to provide information about fishing and to encourage participation in the sport.

Anglers need a valid Environment Agency fishing licence to fish for salmon, trout, freshwater fish, smelt or eel in England.
