dytkos 17,528 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 It's probably an agency charging you for arranging it, there's company's that do passports on your behalf and charge you for it. Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 You need a rod licence in England and Wales. You used to be able to buy them from the post office, but they stopped doing that now and their website says use the Environment Agency. It's £30 a year from EA, but the first site google brings up "onlinefishinglicences.co.uk" charge £40. Chancers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel cain 42,793 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Still get my rod licence from the post office, payed £45 for 3 rods? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil r 1,795 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 It’s still the same price from the P.O. , don’t know about online , the post office is only round the corner so I just get it from there . Mine is £82 for the salmon and seatrout one but it covers me for 3 rods coarse fishing aswell 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
