Rod Licence. 

Had a phone call on Friday from the Environment Agency asking me if i like to take part in a questionnaire and my thoughts on the licence. I said it is not worth £72. they are thinking of putting it up to £82 in two years time. not having a Junior licence but putting a £1 on every adult one and not having a paper licence so you will not know if you have paid. As i said the salmon and seatrout licence could go to £82 in two years but the coarse fishing licence only going up by £3. I told him I think there should be one licence for all at about £55. the one good idea he said was they were thinking about having a 365 day rolling licence it does not matter when you buy it. it will last for a year. as anyone else had this phone call and what do you think about if these come in please leave a comment
