Tel: 0121 711 2324. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the information given in the guide Is correct, the Environment Agency cannot accept liability for any errors or omissions. Fishing rights change hands and therefore anglers are urged to make preliminary enquiries before travelling to a selected venue. Introduction The Midlands Region contains some of the largest and most important rivers in the country. Rivers such as the Trent, Avon and Severn have all hosted national and international angling championships. Other rivers such as the Teme, Dove and Derwent are prized for individual catches of barbel, chub, salmon and trout Many smaller rivers provide good sport for both the serious and occasional angler and all play a part in contributing to the quality of life of many people. With over 7000 km or river, almost 1000 km of canal and an increasing number of popular stillwater venues, the region contains an extremely varied and important fisheries resource. The popularity of the region's fisheries is reflected in the high number of anglers in the Midlands - with over a quarter of the total national rod licences sold to anglers living in the Midlands Region. Welcome Welcome to your latest copy of the day ticket guide to fisheries in the Midland Region. A year has now passed since the onset of foot and mouth disease which paralysed much of the countryside, disrupting working lives as well has having a major impact on recreation and tourism including fishing. Thanks to the guide, many anglers who could not fish their usual haunts, had the opportunity to explore new venues and new areas and with this new edition, even more venues and up to date information have been included. I am pleased to report that as a result of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Review, the government have recognised the important role that angling plays as both a healthy recreation and in protecting the environment. In forthcoming years this will result in extra grant in aid being given to protect and enhance fisheries within the Midlands Region and enable my colleagues within the Environment Agency to continue and extend their important work. The Agency is working hard to increase angling participation in all parts of the community and is committed to increasing angling opportunities for all - but especially juniors who represent the future of our sport. This guide is designed to inform both experienced and new anglers alike of the huge array of diverse fishing opportunities that exist in the Midlands Region. On pages 11-20 you will find a number of free fisheries controlled by the Environment Agency where, provided you have your valid rod fishing licence, you will need no further permission to fish. If this is your first season of fishing then may it m ^ be an enjoyable and rewarding one and tight lines to all of you! Chairman Rod Licences Who needs a licence? Anyone aged 12 years or over who fishes for salmon, trout, freshwater fish or eels in England and Wales must have a valid Environment Agency Rod Fishing Licence. A rod licence is a statutory requirement (in other words it is required by law) and entitles the licencee to use a rod and line to fish. Rod licences are issued by the Environment Agency and it is important to note that these differ from permits (often referred to as day tickets) which give permission to fish on a particular water and are issued by fishery owners or angling clubs. What categories of licence are there? There are two categories of rod licence: • Non-migratory trout, coarse fish and eel licence • Salmon and migratory trout (sea trout). This licence also entitles the holder to fish for non-migratory trout, coarse fish and eel. How long do licences run for? How many rods does a rod licence Full and concessionary licences are valid entitle me to use? from 1st April to 31st March following. A rod licence entitles you to fish with up An eight day licence is valid for 192 to two rods and line at the same time for consecutive hours. coarse fish and eels, but with only one A one day licence is valid for 24 rod and line for trout, sea trout, char and consecutive hours. salmon.

Angling and wildlife Angling contributes towards our environment and people's enjoyment of nature, but inexperience or thoughtlessness may lead to wildlife being harmed and the good image of angling being tarnished. To protect the environment and wildlife here are a few simple steps that can make a real difference. • Never drop litter or discard tackle and remember that discarded nylon line is particularly hazardous to wildlife. Discarded or damaged line should be taken home. • A lw ays clear up litter before you leave - even if it's not yours. • Rem ove immediately rigs caught up in bankside vegetation, branches or underwater snags where it is practicable and safe to do so and report lost terminal tackle to club bailiffs or the fishery owner for removal, if you can not remove it.

  • The Cottage Wolfhampcote | Rugby | Warkwickshire | CV23 8AR the COTTAGE
    The Cottage Wolfhampcote | Rugby | Warkwickshire | CV23 8AR THE COTTAGE Built in the late 19th century, this charming country cottage occupies a very peaceful and picturesque location within ‘the lost’ village of Wolfhampcote. It’s said to have been abandoned in the late 14th century – local legend has it that it was wiped out by the plague – and it is now home to just a farmhouse, the old vicarage, the village church and The Cottage, which in more recent times has been beautifully restored. The Cottage is situated in the delightful hamlet of Wolfhampcote and overlooks the church of St Peter and is surrounded by countryside and lies just on the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire border. The property itself was previously two farmers cottages, was believed to be constructed in around 1850 and whilst the property requires some modernisation, it is clear that such a desirable location is rarely available in the modern world. The house itself has two well proportion first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom, then on the ground floor there is a kitchen-breakfast room and sitting room. The house also has a range of very useful outbuildings including a double garage ,wash house ,large workshop and various other storage areas dotted around and attractive garden which measures 0.19 of an acre in total. The house has Northamptonshire stone elevations and a slate tiled roof and benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazed windows. KEY FEATURES Ground Floor The property has a dual-entrance porch with a back door leading to the yard and a glazed front door, the other glazed door has a double-glazed leathered window that overlooks the frontage and a further glazed door that leads to the kitchen- breakfast room.

  • Report Into Infant Cremations at the Emstrey Crematorium Shrewsbury
    Report into Infant Cremations at the Emstrey Crematorium Shrewsbury May 2015 Foreword Last November, Shropshire Council asked me to lead an inquiry into the way in which infant cremations have been carried out at the Emstrey Crematorium, in Shrewsbury. I began work in December 2014, and have been ably supported throughout by John Doyle, an independent research assistant. There can surely be no more painful experience than losing one’s infant child. Bereaved families have carefully and vividly explained to me how their sense of emptiness after losing their child felt all the more desolate for having had no ashes returned to them after the cremation. They feel strongly that to have retained a tangible memory of their lost child would have helped them through their grieving. This inquiry has established that the cremation equipment and techniques that were employed at the Emstrey Crematorium between 1996 and 2012 resulted in there being no ashes from the cremation of children of less than a year old that could be returned to funeral directors and families. This practice seems to have been accepted locally as the norm. The inquiry has also established that, using appropriate equipment and cremation techniques, it is normally possible to preserve ashes from infant cremations. The records show that ashes have been returned to funeral directors in all cases of infant cremations conducted at Emstrey since new equipment was installed, and different cremation techniques adopted, from January 2013. I hope that this report explains to families, councillors, staff and others, the circumstances that resulted in no ashes being returned to bereaved families between 1996 and 2012.

  • Shropshire's Churchyard Yews
    ’CHURCHYARD YEWS painted by Rev. Edward Williams M.A. more than two hundred years ago photographs by Tim Hills between 1997 and 2012 Between 1786 and 1791 Rev. Edward Williams made a record of most of ’parish churches. He was described in The Gentlem’ magazine vol 153 as “ excellent ” who had also “much of ” We are told in The annals and magazine of natural history, zoology and botany - vol 1 p183 that his studies included “ catalogue of all the plants which he had detected during many years' careful herborization of the county of ”for which “accuracy is well known, and perfect reli- ance can be placed on any plant which he ” Williams work thus gives us a rare opportunity to see some of Shropshir’churchyard yew trees as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago. The examples below give us reason to be confident in the accuracy of his recording. The yew at Boningale (left) now has a girth of about 13ft, while that at Bucknell (centre) now has a girth of about 19ft, and the Norbury giant (right) has a girth above 33ft. His attention to detail is illustrated in this example at Tasley. In the painting we can clearly see that sections of the bole are leaning outwards, a process which has led to the distinctive yew we see today. On the following pages, 28 of the yews in ’paintings are seen as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago and at they are now. We are grateful to Shropshire Archives for granting us permission to use their material in this way.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.
