Just got my daughter ( 6 ) a fishing rod n set up only cheep off eBay she’s wanted to go fishing for ages , my question is will we need a license? I have permission on a small pond at work full of small perch n roach and probably no one will even see us but do we need one ?

if your fishing anywhere in the UK in fresh water then you need a rod licence...  your daughters sound until 12 yr old

Don't need licenses here in Scotland, why do you need one in England? Where does the money go? I'll sit out on a loch with 12 to 18 rods out when I'm not otter boarding, would you need a license for an otter board or nets or is it just a rod? Do you have to take a test to get a license?

Sounds fishy to me licenses! I just don't get why'd you'd have to have one to catch some fish?
