2014/15  Rod License Reminder –
Don’t Get Done!!
The Environment Agency Rod License needs to be renewed from 1st April. Anyone aged 12 years or over who fishes for salmon, trout, freshwater fish or eels in England and Wales must have a valid Environment Agency Rod Fishing License. 2014/15 fees have not been increased and remain the same for the third year running. 2014/15 licences will therefore be: - Annual Adult Coarse/ Trout £27, Concessionary OAP's £18 and Junior 12 to 16  £5.00. They are obtainable from Idle and all remaining Post Offices and on line via the Environment Agency website. Watch out Bailiff’s about especially in first few weeks of new licence year…..

20014/15  Close Season Information Yorkshire
The close season for all non-migratory trout in rivers, streams, drains and canals and brown trout in all    waters is from 1 October to 24 March inclusive. There is no close season for rainbow trout in any stillwaters. The trout season therefore opens on the 25th March on rivers and sport should improve when temperatures rise and fish get back into full condition.
For Coarse fish it is unlawful to fish for coarse fish from 15 March to 15 June inclusive on any river, stream, drain or waterway (other than canals) and the Aire and Calder Navigation between Castleford and Ferrybridge Lock. There is no statutory close season on any canals, reservoirs, lakes or ponds for coarse fish in the North East Region. However, individual owners may close their fisheries so you should always check before you fish. On waters where the close season for freshwater fish applies including all rivers the only lures or baits that may be used are natural or artificial fly, minnow, worm, shrimp, prawn, sand eel, or artificial lure until 16th June. It is also an offence to fish for salmon by means of other than an artificial fly or artificial lure before the 16th June. On June 16th the Coarse Season opens again and all baits can be used again after that date.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Apperley Bridge remains open during the Coarse close season with all baits allowed along with many other stillwaters and ponds. Please handle fish with care during this period.
