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.
