Rod licences are set to go up from ?19 to ?20 next year. The EA says it needs the money to maintain services.
Junior licences are going to come down from ?10 to ?5, in a bid to draw more youngsters into the sport.
Do folk feel the service we get from the EA is worthwhile..?
I've had a rod licence on and off since the first water board ones came off in the 1970s. I have never, ever been asked to produce it.
In those days, 4million people bought water board licences. Nowadays, the figure is hovering at just below the million mark - suggesting the number of anglers on the bank has fallen by three-quarters in little over a generation.
