Game Fishing – John Stoddart Vice Chair Game

The game fishing section of the club goes from strength to strength. There are some years in the club’s history when very important things have happened securing our future. I count among these several great fishery acquisitions, Durnford and the upper Wylye beats come to mind as examples. Then there are decisions such as the opening up of the game fishing to associate members which gave us the funds to acquire more and improve our waters without overstressing them. I also count the move to online renewals steamlining our financial and admin processes as one of those big steps forward for the club..

I believe that 2018/2019 has been one of those important years. We have completed the land purchase at Bonnymead, Amesbury, creating a combined asset with the fishing rights we already own and a good strip of surrounding land which we can manage for the best interests of the fishery. The combined value will greatly enhance our capital asset base. We hold water […]

Beware EA Rod Licence Rip Off

The Environment Agency has advised the public to beware of third party websites offering to buy fishing licences on behalf of anglers.

The Environment Agency has received reports from anglers who have used third party websites and been charged up to double the price for a licence. There have also been instances of anglers being charged a fee but not receiving a licence as quickly as they would expect.

These websites are not endorsed by the Environment Agency and anyone wanting to buy a fishing licence should go direct to the GOV.UK website.

Please make sure you have the right website if you use a search engine to find GOV.UK. On the GOV.UK website you can buy a 12 month fishing licence from £30. Junior licences are free for 13-16 year olds at GOV.UK. It’s quick and easy – just go to GOV.UK

Official Rod Licence Prices

Licence type	Trout and coarse 2-rod	Salmon and sea trout
8-day	£12	£27
12-month	£30	£82
12-month – over 65 or disabled	£20	£54
12-month – junior (13 to 16)	Free	Free

UK; Weed Cutting Dates 2019 River Avon

Weed Cutting Dates 2019 River Avon

The following dates have been approved by the EA and Wiltshire Fishery Association for weed cutting in the 2019 season.

2018 was almost a return to the heavey weed growth we used to experience back a few years ago although in some areas growth was still limited.
The Keeper team did a magnificent job and only had to use mechanical assistance in a few of the deeper stretches.

Weed growth at the start of the year will be closely monitored and cut early in the allocated period if required .
