正文(英文) | News story Crackdown on illegal angling in North East over Bank HolidayAnglers in the North East are being reminded to ensure they abide by national and local byelaws as enforcement officers cast their net on illegal fishing. ![]() During the Bank Holiday weekend, from 4 to 6 May, Environment Agency Fisheries Enforcement Officers checked 363 anglers at separate locations in Durham, Teesside, Tyneside and Northumberland using local knowledge and intelligence to target offending. Over the three days 17 people were reported for various fisheries offences, most of which were for fishing without a licence. As well as the rod licence offences the officers discovered two illegal crayfish traps, which were seized. David Shears, Senior Fisheries Enforcement Officer at the Environment Agency, said:
He added that the current coarse fishing close season on rivers, some canals and some stillwaters started on 15 March and finishes on 15 June. There is no close season on most canals and most stillwaters. Mr Shears said:
People caught fishing without a licence can be fined up to £2,500. Children under 13 do not need a licence. Licences for children aged between 13 and 16 are free, but a junior licence is required. Anyone who suspects illegal fishing to be taking place should report the matter to the Environment Agency’s incident hotline, on 0800 807060. For more information and to buy a rod licence go to www.gov.uk/buy-a-uk-fishing-rod-licence. To check your flood risk and to sign up to receive flood warnings on your phone, go to www.gov.uk/flood.
