Purchase Your Rod License Online
YOU must hold and carry at all times a current rod license
(2 rod license for 3 rods) to fish our Association Waters.
DAVE HUNTER Technical Officer (FRB) is the new Fishery Officer for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight
telephone 01962 713267
On a routine visit checking rod licences he told Derek Holmes that he had recently prosecuted several persons on the mainland for moving fish from water to water. Even putting a goldfish into an outdoor lake without a section 30 is an offence. The law states that you can take a fish home to eat but Dave warned that anyone seen taking a fish from a fishery will be prosecuted. Surveillance cameras have proved very successful and with the latest technology warnings are sent to his phone and he can watch waters from miles away.
