 | The new-look rod licences have been revealed this week – with a three brand new designs from top artist David Miller. A big linear mirror carp adorns the newly introduced three-rod |
licence, while a brown trout features on the standard two-rod version and a salmon can be found on the salmon and sea trout permit.
As part of a revolutionary change from the old system, the licences will now run for a year from the date of purchase and only those over 17 will need to purchase one.
Artist David Miller said: “I’m delighted to have provided the images for the fishing licences again this year, not only because it gave me the opportunity to paint three species for the first time but also because all the money raised goes back into supporting fisheries. Of the three I was particularly pleased with the brown trout, my favourite UK game fish, and one I love to fish for on small rivers and streams.”
Judy Proctor, Head of Fisheries at the Environment Agency, said: “We hope David’s stunning images encourage people to give fishing a go. Angling creates over 37,000 full time jobs and generates over £1 billion for the UK economy, but at its heart it’s a much loved outdoor sport connecting people with nature. We’ve listened to anglers’ concerns and improved the fishing licence to make the process of getting out and fishing legally simpler.”
