  • Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment August 2019
    Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment August 2019 COARSE FISHING CLOSE SEASON ON ENGLISH RIVERS The Environment Agency will retain the coarse fishing close season on English rivers following a review of the evidence and public consultation. Background Coarse fishing close season byelaws prohibit river angling between 15 March and 15 June, with the aim of protecting spawning fish. Many anglers believe a close season is necessary to protect spawning fish: others contest it is unnecessary and that removing it would give them more chances to fish and provide potential benefits to the angling trade. Most other countries with coarse angling operate a close season (although dates and species differ). The Environment Agency has previously removed the close season from most stillwaters and most canals. However, it considers river fish stocks to be more sensitive to the potential impacts of disturbance leading up to, during and after spawning. In 2015, a study group, comprising the Environment Agency, Angling Trust and Institute of Fisheries Management, reviewed the scientific evidence on the close season. The group identified that a lack of studies on the impact of angling during the close season means the evidence base remains very limited and it is widely accepted that gathering more information would be too expensive. The review highlighted that some fish, for example barbel and dace, may be more sensitive to angling disturbance, especially where they aggregate in shoals ahead of spawning. It also identified pike as being particularly sensitive, such that it might require specific protection should the close season be removed or changed for other species.
