Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the information given in the guide Is correct, the Environment Agency
cannot accept liability for any errors or omissions. Fishing rights change hands and therefore anglers are urged to make
preliminary enquiries before travelling to a selected venue.
Introduction
The M idlands Region contains some of the largest and most important rivers in
the country. Rivers such as the Trent, Avon and Severn have all hosted national
and international angling championships. Other rivers such as the Teme, Dove
and Derw ent are prized for individual catches of barbel, chub, salmon and trout
M any smaller rivers provide good sport for both the serious and occasional
angler and all play a part in contributing to the quality of life of many people.
W ith over 7000 km or river, almost 1000 km of canal and an increasing number
of popular stillwater venues, the region contains an extremely varied and
im portant fisheries resource. The popularity of the region's fisheries is reflected in
the high num ber of anglers in the Midlands - with over a quarter of the total
national rod licences sold to anglers living in the Midlands Region.
Welcome
Welcome to your latest copy of the day ticket guide to fisheries in the
Midland Region.
A year has now passed since the onset of foot and mouth disease which
paralysed much of the countryside, disrupting working lives as well has having a
major impact on recreation and tourism including fishing. Thanks to the guide,
many anglers who could not fish their usual haunts, had the opportunity to
explore new venues and new areas and with this new edition, even more venues
and up to date information have been included.
I am pleased to report that as a result of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries
Review, the government have recognised the important role that angling plays
as both a healthy recreation and in protecting the environment. In forthcoming
years this will result in extra grant in aid being given to protect and enhance
fisheries within the Midlands Region and enable my colleagues within the
Environment Agency to continue and extend their important work. The Agency
is working hard to increase angling participation in all parts of the com munity
and is committed to increasing angling opportunities for all - but especially
juniors who represent the future of our sport.
This guide is designed to inform both experienced and new anglers alike of the
huge array of diverse fishing opportunities that exist in the Midlands Region. On
pages 11-20 you will find a number of free fisheries controlled by the
Environment Agency where, provided you have
your valid rod fishing licence, you will need no
further permission to fish.
If this is your first season of fishing then may it
be an enjoyable and rewarding one and
tight lines to all of you!

Rod Licences
W h o n eed s a lice n c e ?
Anyone aged 12 years or over who fishes for salmon, trout, freshwater fish or
eels in England and Wales must have a valid Environment Agency Rod Fishing
Licence. A rod licence is a statutory requirement (in other words it is required by
law) and entitles the licencee to use a rod and line to fish. Rod licences are
issued by the Environm ent Agency and it is important to note that these differ
from permits (often referred to as day tickets) which give permission to fish on a
particular w ater and are issued by fishery owners or angling clubs.
W h a t c a te g o rie s o f licence are th e re ?
There are two categories of rod licence:
•
Non-m igratory trout, coarse fish and eel licence
•
Salmon and m igratory trout (sea trout). This licence also entitles the holder
to fish for non-migratory trout, coarse fish and eel.
H ow lon g do lice n ce s run for?
Full and concessionary licences are valid
from 1st April to 31st March following.
An eight day licence is valid for 192
consecutive hours.
A one day licence is valid for 24
consecutive hours.
W h o q u a lifie s fo r a co ncessio n ary
lic e n c e ?
You are eligible for a concessionary
licence if:
• You are aged 12 to 16 inclusive
(Junior licence)
• You are aged 65 years or over
(Senior licence)
• You receive (Eligible disabled)
a. Long term incapacity benefit
b. Short term incapacity benefit (at the
higher rate)
c. Severe disablement allowance
d. A war pension which includes
unemployability supplement
(Please note concessions are only
available on an annual licence.)
H ow m any rods does a rod licence
e n title m e to u se?
A rod licence entitles you to fish with up
to two rods and line at the same time for
coarse fish and eels, but with only one
rod and line for trout, sea trout, char and
salmon. Always check club rules and local
byelaws regarding the rod limit on the
water you intend to fish. Additional
licences are required if you fish with
more rods, where byelaws and rules
permit.
C arry y o u r licence
Please ensure you carry your rod fishing
licence with you at all times when fishing
- you may be asked to produce it by an
Environment Agency officer or other
authorised person. If you lose your
licence, a replacement may be obtained
by contacting the Environment Agency
on 01925 653999. There is a small
handling charge for replacement
licences.

get a licence?

Angling and
wildlife
Angling contributes towards our environment and people's enjoyment of nature,
but inexperience or thoughtlessness may lead to wildlife being harmed and the
good image of angling being tarnished.
To protect the environm ent and wildlife here are a few simple steps that can
make a real difference.
•
N ever drop litter or discard tackle and remember that discarded nylon line is
particularly hazardous to wildlife. Discarded or damaged line should be taken
home.
•
A lw a y s clear up litter before you leave - even if it's not yours.
•
R em o ve im mediately rigs caught up in bankside vegetation, branches or
underwater snags where it is practicable and safe to do so and report lost
terminal tackle to club bailiffs or the fishery owner for removal, if you can not
remove it.
•
C h o o se your swim with care to reduce the risk of snagging bankside trees,
vegetation and obstructions in the water and take extra care where people
feed w aterfow l.
•
N ever leave rods unattended while fishing. If you need to leave your swim,
all lines should be retrieved and the hooks secured to the rod.
•
N ever leave rods on the bank with hooks still baited, as these food items
could be picked up by birds or animals.
•
R e m e m b e r it is illegal to leave a rod unattended while fishing.
•
Use a hook length of lower breaking strain line than the reel line where
possible.
•
C h e ck your reel line regularly for flaws caused by wear and damage.
Remove and carefully dispose of any damaged line and replace your reel line
regularly.
•
Use barbless or reduced barb hooks where possible. Hooked or entangled
birds are more likely to be able to rid themselves of the hook and in the
event of a rescue being needed, removal of the hook from a bird will be
much easier.
•
Lead weights are illegal in most sizes and non-toxic weights are widely
available. Lead weights of 0.06 grams (No. 8 shot) or less, or of more than
28.35 grams (1 oz) may be used.
•
Bew are of birds swimming into your line or picking up surface baits.
•
W a t c h your rod at all times when legering with quivertips or other visible
bite indicators. Submerge rod tips when legering using bite alarms and keep
lines under the surface to avoid waterfowl.
•
Retrieve your line when float fishing if there is a risk of birds swimming
through the line. Even when using a waggler float with the line 'buried', it
will be only just below the surface and still presents a risk.
•
Take great care when fishing surface baits such as bread or 'floaters' as they
may attract waterfowl.
•
A little time spent helping beginners can reduce tackle losses and improve
their catches.
•
Never attempt to restrain an injured swan (or other large bird or animal) by
holding onto the line. This can cause severe injury and heightened trauma.
For swans and geese cut the line and report the incident as soon as possible
to the rescue organisations below:
NATIONAL SWAN SANCTUARY HOTLINE
0700 SWAN UK or 01 78 4 43 16 6 7
RSPCA 08705 555999
W ildlife Hospital Trust 01844 292292
Always have these telep ho n e num bers w ith you, and report sick or
injured anim als. The problem m ay not be angling related but it m ay
give w arning of a serious problem at the w ater.

From slow w id e
racing
meanders to
narrow gorges, rivers
provide a wide variety of
habitats for many different
species of coarse fish in c lu d in g
the strong swimming Barbel.
In recent years Barbel (Barbui barbus) have
become increasingly popular w ith river
anglers. This hard fighting fish is normally
found in deep fast flowing water but was
for thousands of years confined to the south
of England as a result of the ice age.
Introduced by man into rivers such as the
Severn the barbel has proved very successful
with fish up to 161b being caught by
anglers. Essentially a bottom feeder. Barbel
eat m ainly at dusk and during the night on
snails, mussels and insect larvae but will
even take small fish when the opportunity
arises. Easily recognised by the tw o sets of
barbels on the upper lip, the fish uses these
to detect its food in the gravel bottom of
large clean lowland rivers.

Some coarse fish such as Carp,
have developed characteristics
which enable them to exploit
stillwaters very efficiently.
Carp (Cyprinui carpio) are native to Asia but
were thought to be introduced to this
country by monks in the middle ages as
food supply. Kept in monastery 'stew
ponds'. Carp provided an essential source of
protein during the long winter m onths.
Variants from the 'com m on' form include
'leather' (no scales) and 'mirror' (fe w very
large scales) and in this country grow to
over SOIbs in weight. Carp enjoy rich warm
water conditions and can tolerate
surprisingly low oxygen levels. C a rp fishing
is now a highly individual and specialised
sport but many people enjoy the antics of
fish at spawning time when they splash
about in the reeds and weeds. Females can
produce over 2 m illion eggs in a single
season and both sexes can live 60 years
or more.

British W aterways is the largest owner
of coarse fishing rights in England.
If you are a member of a small club,
you may wish to rent your own stretch of canal.
Call us. It may cost less than you think.
W hy not try to catch big barbel & chub from the
w eir pools at Holt & Lincomb. Our lock keepers sell
day tickets. Or you could join our exclusive
syndicate at Diglis (subject to vacancies).
We also have some of the finest commercial
fisheries in the country including
Earlswood Lakes where the UK 5 hour match
record has been broken with 414lbs 8ozs.
For further details
Telephone Keith Fisher on 01827 252048

All canals in England are open all year
round for fishing apart from a small number
of special conservation areas (SSSI's).
nm am Mil
Our canal fishing rights are licensed to
angling clubs w ho make their own arrangements
for memberships matches and day tickets.

British Waterways
Canals often provide very
stable habitats for many fish
including Roach, Gudgeon and
the Predatory Pike.
One of Britain's largest freshwater fish, the
Pike (Esox lucius) is amongst the top
predators in the aquatic food chain. Pike
have large sickle shaped teeth sloping
backward in the mouth so that it is almost
impossible for prey fish to escape their fast,
darting attacks from deep cover. Fish of
over 40lbs (always females) are not rare but
despite their great size Pike need very
careful handling out of water to avoid
serious physical damage. Pike are usually
green coloured when young but this
deepens with age w hen characteristic
banding occurs. They hunt fish including
their own kind using a com bination of good
vision provided by forward facing eyes and
a system of sensory organs located on the
head and connected to the lateral line
nervous system w hich enable it to detect
prey movement before it com es in view.

necessary physical structure
and water quality attributes to
support thriving game fisheries.
Salmon (Salmo salar) is the most revered of
all the game fish. It also has one of the
most fascinating life cycles in all the animal
kingdom. Adult females lay eggs in the
upper reaches of rivers using nests called
'redds' made in gravel. After about three
years, young fish begin to change by a
process called smoltification in preparation
for migration to sea. They may spend one
or several years in the cold waters of the
north Atlantic where they take on a
characteristic pink colouration to the flesh.
Fish returning to freshwater to breed have
to get past many obstacles including drift
nets at sea, a variety of basket traps and
other devices in the estuary and fishermen
on the bank. Part of this epic journey can
be witnessed first hand as this noble fish
leaps over weirs and waterfalls on route to
the spawning grounds.
Amazingly Salmon are able to find the
actual river in which they were born.
Rather puzzling for anglers is that although
Salmon do not feed in freshwater they will
take natural and artificial baits but this may
be explained by the fact that this needs to
be presented on the nose' in order to
produce an instinctive strike.

Byelaws
Introduction to the
Regional Fisheries Byelaws
Byelaws are statutory rules and regulations put in place by the Environment
Agency and which must be complied with by anglers. They exist to prevent
damage to fish stocks from insensitive fishing methods and to make sure that
fisheries are sustainable for the enjoyment of current and future generations of
anglers.
These byelaws apply to all types of fisheries within the Midlands Region, be they
owned by angling clubs, syndicates, local authorities or by private individuals.
Whilst the fishery owners may impose additional more stringent regulations, they
are not able to dispense with any of the fishery byelaws laid down by the
Environment Agency. They may, for example, restrict the number of rods a
coarse angler can use to two, if they feel it is in the best interest of their fishery.
However, they may not remove the Agency's maximum limit and allow more
than four rods to be fished.
Out of necessity, legal English can be complicated, so where necessary the
following pages contain explanatory notes to clarify various meanings and
definitions. Please note that the following pages are not a definitive legal
interpretation of the byelaws, but a 'reader friendly' guide aimed at informing
anglers of the rules governing fishing within the Midlands Region. The byelaw
numbers in brackets refer to corresponding numbers in the legal byelaws. There
are also a number of byelaws which have been introduced recently and which
apply throughout England and Wales. These 'national' byelaws are marked as
such.
Please make sure you read the byelaws in full before you go fishing. If you have
any questions on interpretation whatsoever, please contact your local Agency
office for clarification. It is far better, for everyone, for any confusion to be sorted
out in advance rather than in court.
Please be aware that byelaws do change from time to time. Some changes are
currently being considered and are likely to be implemented later in the year
2002. This is to make sure that the byelaws continue to provide fish and fisheries
the best possible protection. Whatever changes are made, the Agency makes
every effort to bring them to the attention of as many fishermen as possible.
If you are not sure of the current situation please ask.
A Guide to the Fisheries Byelaws for

The annual close season for fishing for salmon with rod and
line shall be the period from and including the 8th day of
October to and including the 31st day of January following.
NB. A dose season exists for salmon in all waters in England and Wales,
although the dates may vary from region to region.
Any person who removes any live or dead salmon taken by
rod and line from any waters or banks without the previous
written authority of the Agency before the 16th day of June in
any calendar year shall be guilty of an offence. This byelaw
shall not apply to any person who lawfully takes a salmon and
returns it immediately to the water with the least possible
injury. (National Salmon Byelaw 5; applies throughout England and
Wales).
Any person w ho fishes for, takes or attempts to take any
salmon with rod and line by any means other than an artificial
fly or artificial lure before the 16th day of June in any calendar
year shall be guilty of an offence. (National Salmon Byelaw 6;
applies throughout England and Wales).
This means salmon fishing in the Midlands Region is permitted between
1st February and 8th October, but between 1st February and 15th June
inclusive only fly and artificial lure can be used and all salmon caught must be
returned alive to the water.
M igratory Trout (Byelaw 3.b)
The annual close season for fishing for migratory trout with rod and
line shall be the period from and including the 8th day of October
to and including the 1 7th day of March following.
NB. A close season exists for sea trout in all waters in England and Wales,
Trout (excluding migratory trout and rainbow trout) (Byelaw 3.c)
The close season for fishing for trout (excluding migratory trout
and rainbow trout) with rod and line shall be the period from and
including the 8th day of October to and including the 1 7th day of
March following in all waters of the Midlands Region.
NB. A close season exists for brown trout in all waters in England and Wales,
Rainbow Trout (Byelaw 3.d)
i) The close season for fishing for rainbow trout with rod and
line shall be the period from the 8th day of October to the
17th day of March following (both dates included) in all
rivers, streams, drains and canals of the Midlands Region.
NB. A close season exists for rainbow trout in all waters,
apart from reservoirs, lakes and ponds, in England and Wales, although the
dates may vary from region to region.
ii) The annual close season for fishing for rainbow trout in
all reservoirs, lakes and ponds shall be dispensed with,
regardless of whether fish can or cannot normally swim
from or to other waters.
NB. This is a national byelaw - the statutory close season has
been dispensed with from reservoirs, lakes and pools in all regions.
Eels (Byelaw 3.e)
During the period from and including the 15th day of March to
and including the 15th day of June following, fishing by rod and
line for eels is authorised on those waters where the statutory
close season for freshwater fish has been dispensed with.
This means you may fish with rod and line for eels in stillwaters (except those
which are Sites of Special Scientific Interest) throughout the year.
It shall be lawful to fish for eels with a rod and line during the annual close
season for freshwater fish in the Midlands Region, provided that the hook
used shall have a gape of not less than
12.7 mm (0 .5 inches).
This means you may only fish for eels in rivers, streams and drains in the region during
the freshwater fish close season if the hook used has a gape of 0.5 inch
(12.7 mm) or over - see also 6. Lures and Baits. There are no statutory tackle or bait
restrictions when fishing for eels in stillwaters.
F re sh w a te r (Coarse) Fish (Byelaw 3.f)
The annual close season for fishing for freshwater fish •
in rivers, streams and drains
•
in all waters in the Specified Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (see
opposite);
Shall be the period from and including the 15th day of March to and
including the 15th day of June following. On all other waters there shall
be no statutory close season for freshwater fish.
NB. The coarse fish close season in rivers, streams and drains is a
national byelaw.
A national Environment Agency byelaw removing the coarse fish close
season on canals in England and Wales has now been approved. This
byelaw dispenses with the statutory close season for coarse fish close
season on any canal that:
~
r
has an artificial channel (cut);
has artificially maintained water levels with negligible
flow over the majority of its length (other than that
derived from water resources and navigation);
~ has a towpath over the majority of its length;
~ has a length in excess of 250 metres and
- is not designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
This means that for canals in the Midlands Region there is no longer a close season for
coarse fish subject to the above criteria. A list of the canal SSSI's that remain closed
appear in the list opposite. To check local arrangemants please contact your nearest
Environment Agency office.
Please Note: This brings the position in England and Wales into line.
For your table showing the close season: for salmon,
trout, freshwater fish and eels, please see page 106.

5. PERMITTED
METHODS
OF FISHING
(Byelaws 5 and 10)
i)
It shall be lawful to use a rod and line and landing net or
tailer used as auxiliaries to angling with rod and line for
taking salmon, migratory trout, non-migratory trout,
freshwater fish or eels.
ii) No person shall fish with more than one rod and line at
the same time when fishing for salmon and trout in all
rivers, streams, drains and canals.
No person shall fish with more than two rods and lines at the
same time when fishing for salmon and trout in all reservoirs,
lakes and ponds.
No person shall fish with more than four rods and lines at the
same time when fishing for coarse fish or eels.
NB. The use of three or four rods requires possession of two rod licences.
When fishing with more than one rod and line at the same
time, the aggregate number shall not exceed four.
When fishing with multiple rods and lines, rods shall be placed
such that the distance between the butts of the end rods does
not exceed three metres.
NB. This is a national byelaw.
iii) Any person who leaves a rod and line with its bait or hook
in the w ater unattended or so that the person shall be
unable at any time to take or excercise sufficient control

This licence is only valid when used during UK National Fishing week, for coarse and nonmigratory trout fishing and when the holder is accompanied by a licensed angler.
Many reservoirs contain high
quality water and are a
favourite venue for game
anglers seeking specimen
sized fish.
Native to the Pacific coast of Am erica, the
Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was
introduced to England in 1884. There are
only a handful of places in Britain where the
Rainbow successfully breeds in the wild and
therefore most of our fisheries are only
sustained by stocking hatchery reared fish.
The reason for this is considered to be that
fast flowing water is essential to its
reproductive cycle and that in such
circumstances Brown Trout eggs hatch first
and young 'Brownies' out compete Rainbow
fry for territory. Rainbows are thought by
many anglers to provide more exciting
sport than our native fish. They get their
name from the iridescent pink to red band
that runs down the flank.
