 Pictured are Amber Gallop and Ken Hart (Threemilestone Angling Club) enjoying a day fishing in the sun in 2011 So why not try fishing? It’s a hobby that’s good for you and your family, and you’ll soon realise why it’s the most popular outdoor sport in the country. You do not require a rod licence for any of the events organised by the Agency although a licence is normally required if you are over twelve years old, and you are fishing for freshwater fish (Salmon, Trout, and coarse fish).

A full year’s adult trout and coarse licence costs £27.00, but you can also buy a single day’s licence for only £3.75.

Under 16s get a full year for only £5.00.
