I am not bothering with licence this year the EA do nothing.
In 45 years of fishing I have only been ask for my licence once, when I was
fishing the Royalty in the Parlour Pool 9 years ago, he walked 25 yards from
pump house with a guy from Wessex Water, with a mug of tea and asked to see my licence.
I asked him if he was going to check other anglers, he said he never had time and went back to the pump house with his tea.
the Royalty a small fishery, it was mid August, plenty of anglers on the banks to check
