 | The Environment Agency has revealed that rod licence prices will remain the same for the fifth year running, continuing to offer excellent value for money at just £30.00 for an annual permit. |
While most anglers welcomed the decision, it didn’t go down well with all, as some were hoping for a form of compensation for missed fishing time during the lockdown earlier this year. The EA, however, supports its decision, citing the vital work that licences fund.
“The income from licence sales is vital for work including protecting habitats for fish, restocking rivers and improving facilities,” a spokesperson said.
“By keeping prices affordable, we also want to encourage as many people as possible to join this highly-rewarding sport.”
