Buy a rod fishing licence

You will need a rod fishing licence to fish for salmon, trout, freshwater fish, smelt or eel with a rod and line on the River Thames and England in fact. Make sure you buy a rod fishing licence beforehand if you haven't got one already and you must always carry your rod fishing licence when you’re fishing or you could be prosecuted.

Once you have your rod licence you can either join an angling club or take advantage of one of the many free fishing sites along the River Thames for some of the finest fishing in the land.
