new to lure fishing

[CosmicCat]

hi all
im going try this this year from kayak to rivers and canals but one question do you need to a licence to fish canals and rivers if your catch and release ?
coming from sea fishing, so need to know or is it ok to catch and release anywhere?

cheers mick

You'll need a rod licence to fish fresh water otherwise it's classed as poaching . Don't matter if YA putting them back . Good luck anyway

[CosmicCat]

how to get one and how much ? and what does it cover all areas or does each city have its own ?

£27 a year for non migratory but runs from April 1st so if you buy now you will only get a couple of months before renewing, You can buy them at the post office
