Closed petition Use fees from fishing licences to improve rivers and stop illegal fishing.

Closed on

It is becoming obvious in the fishing communities that we need a crackdown to check licences and stop people taking fish illegally. I’m 38 and have NEVER been checked. We need full time rangers on every river checking licences and keeping rivers clean and clear!

I’m sure there is not a fisherman out there who has not seen people taking fish illegally in a carrier bag to eat, or trollies blocking our rivers. When I was a child there were shoals and shoals of silvers, now you have to hunt miles and miles of riverbank for these shoals, the fish in every river are disappearing.
