Rod Licences are issued by the Environment Agency and can be purchased from any Post Office in England and Wales. If you wish to find out further information, please visit your local Post Office or contact the Post Office sales line 08457 22 33 44 or visit:

In addition to a rod licence, you will also need a permit or 'day ticket' from the local angling club which has fishing rights over the particular stretch of water you wish to fish.
