Whether fishing from a boat or a bank, take care you don’t leave lines and leaders behind. They can be a danger to wildlife - as well as an eyesore!
The money from your rod licence is re-invested by the EA in caring for the waters you fish. Always ensure you have one!
Always wear glasses when you fish to protect your eyes: many anglers have lost their sight or had their eyes permanently damaged by mis-cast flies.
Fish Legal (previously known as the Anglers' Conservation Association, founded in 1948) was set up to protect all coastal and inland waters in the United Kingdom from pollution and other damage. Water pollution, over-abstraction and habitat damage kills hundreds of thousands of fish each year, leaving a huge impact on aquatic ecosystems and local economies, not to mention the enjoyment of all kinds of anglers. Fish Legal aims to stop this damage happening and fights for compensation for our members when it does.
