Football, rugby and golf are the national UK sports however fishing is not any less popular in comparison with them.
KEY FEATURES
In the UK, individuals cannot fish on the shore of any water reservoir without special license. In order to fish legally you need to buy a special license. Illegal fishing will lead to administrative penalties and a fine up to 200GBP. In addition to this licence, you need to buy a card with the owner’s permission for fishing, since almost all water reservoirs in Great Britain are privately owned.
It is also worth remembering that in Britain you should not take your catch with you. Instead, you must release it back into the water. It is possible to take only fish caught in the sea, so that is why many people prefer to fish from the deck of a boat.
There are also public fishing sites in the UK which require license only (without any additional charges). These zones are marked on special maps and websites.
