正文(英文) | Press release John Wilson MBE honoured with new rod licence imagesAngling legend’s favourite fish to feature in striking image on new rod licence ![]() Fishing licences are easy to buy, fund vital fisheries improvement projects and help tackle illegal fishing. A stunning image of a Wensum River roach is the choice for one of this year’s Environment Agency rod licences, commemorating the angling legend John Wilson MBE. As in previous years, the impressive artwork has been created by the famous fish and wildlife painter David Miller. John Wilson inspired countless anglers to take up the sport with his famous TV series Go Fishing and John Wilson’s Fishing World. Recognised by the Angling Times in 2004 as the Greatest Angler of all Time, John dedicated his life to the love of his sport and to inspiring new generations to discover angling. He was awarded an MBE in 2009 in recognition of his outstanding services to angling. The unveiling of the image of the Wensum River roach, a beautiful blue-silvery fish with characteristic vivid red pectoral fins and red-orange eyes - Wilson’s all-time favourite fish - kick-starts the angling season for 2020. Also unveiled today are new images on the 12-month 2-rod trout and coarse licence and the 12-month salmon and sea trout licence. The 2-rod licence features the minnow, a small fish commonly found across the country in flowing waters, while the migratory salmon licence shows the Atlantic salmon in one of its juvenile forms, the parr. Lisa Wilson, the daughter of late John Wilson and an active promoter of angling’s health benefits, said:
Kevin Austin, Deputy Director Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment at the Environment Agency said:
Helping promote John Wilson’s legacy is his friend and fellow fisherman Nick Beardmore, now Environment Agency Enforcement Officer. Nick said:
The 12-month fishing rod licences start from only £30 to fish for trout and coarse fish and cost £82 for salmon and sea trout. Concessions and short term licences are available. Buying a fishing licence is quick and easy. Licences are available from only £30 for a whole year and are available at this link. Fishing licence income is used to fund work to maintain, improve and develop fisheries, fish habitats and angling. This includes river habitat improvements and construction of methods to improve fish passage, amongst other crucial projects.
