Any angler aged 12 years or over, fishing for salmon, trout, freshwater fish or eels in England (except the River Tweed), Wales or the Border Esk and its tributaries in Scotland must have an Environment Agency rod licence.
Coarse fish close season - 15 March to 15 June inclusive
The coarse fish close season applies to all rivers, streams and drains in England & Wales, but does not apply to most stillwaters.
Where the statutory coarse fish close season has been removed, fishery owners and angling clubs are free to introduce a close season through club or fishery rules if they wish to.
