BroadAmbition Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Am I missing something here or what? Last night I remembered to renew my annual fishing licence on line. A few things have changed, one for the better is now when you renew it is valid for a full year not expiring March like it used to do. It has gone up from £27 to £30 - No problem with that since it is the first rise in ten years (Ba - are you taking note?) Now as far as I can recall a course fishing licence entitled you to the use of three rods per licence, kinda handy for pike fisherman, kinda handy for me sometimes too. So I ticked all the buttons and was somewhat gobsmacked to see the price I had to pay was £45 not £30! What's going on here then? a bit of on-line investigation work ensued. I now know that the £30 is indeed correct but now only for two rods not three as it used to be. If you want to go for a three rod licence it is now £45 instead of £27 as it used to be - Wow! That's some increase. Needless to say I opted for the two rod licence Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnygeoff Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I can only remember it being for 2 rods, not that it is any good to me, I have trouble using 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi Griff, The "old" licence was for two rods. If you were fishing with 3 rods you should have bought a second licence which would have allowed you to use up to 4 rods if you wanted to. I am guessing that you never got asked to show your licence/s when using 3 rods. Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yes, indeed the old license was for two rods, although you could use a target or spod rod in addition as long as it did not have a hook attached to the line. If you were using three rods you did have to buy a second license. Like many others, I found more than one rod, particularly for carp quite awkward. Mind, my favourite method for carp was off the top using a candle. But after a while, I found carping exceedingly tedious. I much prefer to target tench or indeed specimen roach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
