Two men from Sunderland have landed fines and costs of over £1,250 for using an unlicenced gill net in the River Wear.

They only caught one sea trout on this occasion but the net could have been deadly to any wildlife entangled in it.

Report illegal fishing 24/7 to 0800 807060.

The annual coarse fishing close season for rivers and streams is now in operation and runs until 15th June (inclusive).

[Environment Agency Midlands @EnvAgencyMids]

Coarse fishing close season begins on Sunday.

Anglers cannot fish for species such as carp, bream, perch, roach, tench, pike and chub, on rivers, streams, drains, and some canals and stillwaters.

Where fishing is permitted, you still need a rod licence.

"A thousand boys and not a fish between them, and no one minds - and maybe that's what angling is all about."

Why not buy your loved ones a new rod licence for Xmas? 🎅
Make sure they are correctly licensed to enjoy their new 🎣 tackle Santa is delivering.

Fisheries officers will be on patrol to check for illegal fishing activities.

Happy holidays everyone 🎄

Joint patrol @swlakes Upper Tamar lakes with @DC_Police last week. @AnglingTrust volunteers made us feel welcome and had a hot ☕️ ready for us.👍

🔥Top tip🔥
Avoid unwanted fines 💸 and set up the new automatic renewal for fishing licences. 🎣🪪
Anglers can now set up this new service when buying a rod licence and avoid having to remember to buy one every year.
