We all ready pay for a day/season ticket so why should we pay for a rod licence just to hold a rod?? It’s not like a shotgun cert. Where you have a visit from the firearms officer and there is an obvious need for control and traceability so costs are involved, to me it’s just a money making exercise.
Rather than bringing new anglers into the sport I think this unnecessary cost will just put them off?
I accept that any income is” ring fenced”, with profits ploughed back into conservation and restocking etc…but I’m not convinced the average angler ever see's the benefit

rob,they dont charge us just for the fishing with a rod ,our fees cover a multitude of actions by the EA, RESTOCKING,FIGHT AGAINST POACHING,RIVER HABITAT IMPROVEMENTS ETC ETC,AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST(damn caps lock) what if your fishery goes short of oxygen in the water (now to the tune of ghostbusters)
WHO YA GONNA CALL "THE EA" !!!
