Are there any age restrictions on rod licences? Does a ten year old need one if he goes fishing without an adult? Can a ten year old apply for one? Last edited by jamanda on Thu Jun 02, 11 6:18 pm; edited 1 time in total

It looks like under 12s are free: https://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/recreation/fishing/31497.aspx

No license required til age 12 and even then only for freshwater - sea fishing is (currently) license-free for all

Thanks NB and Treac - that will be well received by the young man in question.
