The campaign, named Operation Lungfish, was launched on 23 July and ran until the end of August. The goal was to crack down on illegal fishing and poaching. A total of 731 fishing licences were checked across Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. This led to 31 offence notices being issued to anglers with no licences. In Essex, a joint patrol took place with police and Angling Trust volunteer bailiffs at Hanningfield Reservoir. There, 41 checks were carried out and 4 offence notices were issued to anglers who were fishing illegally without a rod licence. An Environment Agency’s fisheries enforcement officer also worked with Essex Police to carry out a joint night patrol across Colchester, Maldon and Tendring districts. All anglers were compliant. ![]() Environment Agency fisheries enforcement officer on a river bank in Essex.

A second joint patrol took place at Pentney Lakes and 3 offence notices were given to anglers with no fishing licence. Nar Valley fishery syndicate was also visited and all anglers were found to be fishing legally. Patrols also took place on rivers, drains and still waters across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. More than 100 anglers were checked, with 5 anglers found without a valid fishing licence. Officers also visited 5 fisheries involved in rehoming sturgeon. Sturgeon are a non-native species and cannot be legally kept in any UK fishery. The fisheries continue to be under investigation. ![]() A fisheries enforcement officer from the Environment Agency on patrol.
