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 for salmon, trout, freshwater fish or eels in and 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. • Choose your swim with care to reduce the risk of snagging bankside trees, vegetation and obstructions in the water and take extra care where people feed waterfowl. • Never leave rods unattended while fishing. If you need to leave your swim, all lines should be retrieved and the hooks secured to the rod. • Never leave rods on the bank with hooks still baited, as these food items could be picked up by or . • Rem em ber it is illegal to leave a rod unattended while fishing. • Use a hook length of lower breaking strain line than the reel line where possible. • Check your reel line regularly for flaws caused by wear and damage. Remove and carefully dispose of any damaged line and replace your reel line regularly. • Use barbless or reduced barb hooks where possible. Hooked or entangled birds are more likely to be able to rid themselves of the hook and in the event of a rescue being needed, removal of the hook from a will be much easier. • Lead weights are illegal in most sizes and non-toxic weights are widely available. Lead weights of 0.06 grams (No. 8 shot) or less, or of more than 28.35 grams (1 oz) may be used. • Beware of birds swimming into your line or picking up surface baits.

• W a tc h your rod at all times when legering with quivertips or other visible bite indicators. Submerge rod tips when legering using bite alarms and keep lines under the surface to avoid waterfowl. • Retrieve your line when float fishing if there is a risk of birds swimming through the line. Even when using a waggler float with the line 'buried', it will be only just below the surface and still presents a risk. • Take great care when fishing surface baits such as bread or 'floaters' as they may attract waterfowl. • A little time spent helping beginners can reduce tackle losses and improve their catches. • Never attempt to restrain an injured swan (or other large bird or ) by holding onto the line. This can cause severe injury and heightened trauma. For swans and geese cut the line and report the incident as soon as possible to the rescue organisations below: NATIONAL SWAN SANCTUARY HOTLINE 0700 SWAN UK or 01784 431667 RSPCA 08705 555999 Wildlife Hospital Trust 01844 292292 Always have these telephone numbers with you, and report sick or injured animals. The problem may not be angling related but it may give warning of a serious problem at the water.

From slow wide meanders to racing narrow gorges, rivers provide a wide variety of habitats for many different species of coarse fish including the strong swimming Barbel.

In recent years Barbel (Barbui barbus) have become increasingly popular w ith river anglers. This hard fighting fish is normally found in deep fast flowing water but was for thousands of years confined to the south of England as a result of the ice age. Introduced by man into rivers such as the Severn the barbel has proved very successful with fish up to 161b being caught by anglers. Essentially a bottom feeder. Barbel eat mainly at dusk and during the night on snails, mussels and insect larvae but will even take small fish when the opportunity arises. Easily recognised by the two sets of barbels on the upper lip, the fish uses these to detect its food in the gravel bottom of large clean lowland rivers. Avon

Some coarse fish such as Carp, have developed characteristics which enable them to exploit 47 stillwaters very efficiently.

Carp (Cyprinui carpio) are native to Asia but were thought to be introduced to this country by monks in the middle ages as food supply. Kept in monastery 'stew ponds'. Carp provided an essential source of protein during the long winter months. Variants from the 'common' form include 'leather' (no scales) and 'mirror' (few very large scales) and in this country grow to over SOIbs in weight. Carp enjoy rich warm water conditions and can tolerate surprisingly low oxygen levels. Carp fishing is now a highly individual and specialised sport but many people enjoy the antics of fish at spawning time when they splash about in the reeds and weeds. Females can produce over 2 million eggs in a single season and both sexes can live 60 years or more. Alan Reynolds Evesbatch Fisheries

Information from As above British Waterways

British Waterways is the largest owner of coarse fishing rights in England.

Our canal fishing rights are licensed to angling clubs who make their own arrangements for memberships matches and day tickets.

All in England are open all year round for fishing apart from a small number of special conservation areas (SSSI's).

If you are a member of a small club, you may wish to rent your own stretch of canal. Call us. It may cost less than you think.

Why not try to catch big barbel & chub from the am Mil iiiiilM am

weir pools at Holt & Lincomb. Our lock keepers sell nm day tickets. Or you could join our exclusive syndicate at Diglis (subject to vacancies).

We also have some of the finest commercial fisheries in the country including Earlswood Lakes where the UK 5 hour match wmi record has been broken with 414lbs 8ozs. For further details Telephone Keith Fisher on 01827 252048 Canals often provide very stable habitats for many fish including Roach, Gudgeon and the Predatory Pike.

One of Britain's largest freshwater fish, the Pike (Esox lucius) is amongst the top predators in the aquatic food chain. Pike have large sickle shaped teeth sloping backward in the mouth so that it is almost impossible for prey fish to escape their fast, darting attacks from deep cover. Fish of over 40lbs (always females) are not rare but despite their great size Pike need very careful handling out of water to avoid serious physical damage. Pike are usually green coloured when young but this deepens with age when characteristic banding occurs. They hunt fish including their own kind using a combination of good vision provided by forward facing eyes and a system of sensory organs located on the head and connected to the lateral line nervous system which enable it to detect prey movement before it comes in view.

Day tkket available from On Bank Information from Evesham & District Angling Association 01386 41273 necessary physical structure and water quality attributes to support thriving game fisheries.

Salmon (Salmo salar) is the most revered of all the game fish. It also has one of the most fascinating life cycles in all the animal kingdom. Adult females lay eggs in the upper reaches of rivers using nests called 'redds' made in gravel. After about three years, young fish begin to change by a process called smoltification in preparation for migration to sea. They may spend one or several years in the cold waters of the north Atlantic where they take on a characteristic pink colouration to the flesh. Fish returning to freshwater to breed have to get past many obstacles including drift nets at sea, a variety of basket traps and other devices in the estuary and fishermen on the bank. Part of this epic journey can be witnessed first hand as this noble fish leaps over weirs and waterfalls on route to the spawning grounds.

Amazingly Salmon are able to find the actual river in which they were born. Rather puzzling for anglers is that although Salmon do not feed in freshwater they will take natural and artificial baits but this may be explained by the fact that this needs to be presented on the nose' in order to produce an instinctive strike.

Introduction to the Regional Fisheries Byelaws

Byelaws are statutory rules and regulations put in place by the Environment Agency and which must be complied with by anglers. They exist to prevent damage to fish stocks from insensitive fishing methods and to make sure that fisheries are sustainable for the enjoyment of current and future generations of anglers. These byelaws apply to all types of fisheries within the Midlands Region, be they owned by angling clubs, syndicates, local authorities or by private individuals. Whilst the fishery owners may impose additional more stringent regulations, they are not able to dispense with any of the fishery byelaws laid down by the Environment Agency. They may, for example, restrict the number of rods a coarse angler can use to two, if they feel it is in the best interest of their fishery. However, they may not remove the Agency's maximum limit and allow more than four rods to be fished. Out of necessity, legal English can be complicated, so where necessary the following pages contain explanatory notes to clarify various meanings and definitions. Please note that the following pages are not a definitive legal interpretation of the byelaws, but a 'reader friendly' guide aimed at informing anglers of the rules governing fishing within the Midlands Region. The byelaw numbers in brackets refer to corresponding numbers in the legal byelaws. There are also a number of byelaws which have been introduced recently and which apply throughout England and Wales. These 'national' byelaws are marked as such. Please make sure you read the byelaws in full before you go fishing. If you have any questions on interpretation whatsoever, please contact your local Agency office for clarification. It is far better, for everyone, for any confusion to be sorted out in advance rather than in court. Please be aware that byelaws do change from time to time. Some changes are currently being considered and are likely to be implemented later in the year 2002. This is to make sure that the byelaws continue to provide fish and fisheries the best possible protection. Whatever changes are made, the Agency makes every effort to bring them to the attention of as many fishermen as possible. If you are not sure of the current situation please ask. A Guide to the Fisheries Byelaws for the Midlands Region.

1. APPLICATION Unless otherwise stated, these byelaws apply to the whole of (Byelaw 1) the Midlands Region of the Environment Agency.

2. INTERPRETATION In this guide the following terms have the following meanings: (Byelaw 2) • The Midlands Region' means the combined areas of the natural catchments of the River Severn and and of all the watercourses draining or flowing, directly or indirectly, into them

• The abbreviation 'NGR' means Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference.

• All references to a river includes all tributaries and sub-tributaries and all mill leats, streams and channels.

• The terms used in these byelaws shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975 or the Water Act 1989.

Salm on (Byelaw 3.a) 3. CLOSE SEASONS The annual close season for fishing for salmon with rod and and Close Times line shall be the period from and including the 8th day of October to and including the 31st day of January following. NB. A dose season exists for salmon in all waters in England and Wales, although the dates may vary from region to region.

Any person who removes any live or dead salmon taken by rod and line from any waters or banks without the previous written authority of the Agency before the 16th day of June in any calendar year shall be guilty of an offence. This byelaw shall not apply to any person who lawfully takes a salmon and returns it immediately to the water with the least possible injury. (National Salmon Byelaw 5; applies throughout England and Wales).

Any person who fishes for, takes or attempts to take any salmon with rod and line by any means other than an artificial fly or artificial lure before the 16th day of June in any calendar year shall be guilty of an offence. (National Salmon Byelaw 6; applies throughout England and Wales). This means salmon fishing in the Midlands Region is permitted between 1 st February and 8th October, but between 1 st February and 15th June inclusive only fly and artificial lure can be used and all salmon caught must be returned alive to the water.

Migratory Trout (Byelaw 3.b) The annual close season for fishing for migratory trout with rod and line shall be the period from and including the 8th day of October to and including the 1 7th day of March following. NB. A close season exists for sea trout in all waters in England and Wales, although the dates may vary from region to region.

Trout (excluding migratory trout and rainbow trout) (Byelaw 3.c) The close season for fishing for trout (excluding migratory trout and rainbow trout) with rod and line shall be the period from and including the 8th day of October to and including the 1 7th day of March following in all waters of the Midlands Region. NB. A close season exists for brown trout in all waters in England and Wales, although the dates may vary from region to region.

Rainbow Trout (Byelaw 3.d) i) The close season for fishing for rainbow trout with rod and line shall be the period from the 8th day of October to the 17th day of March following (both dates included) in all rivers, streams, drains and canals of the Midlands Region. NB. A close season exists for rainbow trout in all waters, apart from reservoirs, lakes and ponds, in England and Wales, although the dates may vary from region to region. ii) The annual close season for fishing for rainbow trout in all reservoirs, lakes and ponds shall be dispensed with, regardless of whether fish can or cannot normally swim from or to other waters. NB. This is a national byelaw - the statutory close season has been dispensed with from reservoirs, lakes and pools in all regions.

Eels (Byelaw 3.e) During the period from and including the 15th day of March to and including the 15th day of June following, fishing by rod and line for eels is authorised on those waters where the statutory close season for freshwater fish has been dispensed with. This means you may fish with rod and line for eels in stillwaters (except those which are Sites of Special Scientific Interest) throughout the year. It shall be lawful to fish for eels with a rod and line during the annual close season for freshwater fish in the Midlands Region, provided that the hook used shall have a gape of not less than 12.7 mm (0.5 inches). This means you may only fish for eels in rivers, streams and drains in the region during the freshwater fish close season if the hook used has a gape of 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) or over - see also 6. Lures and Baits. There are no statutory tackle or bait restrictions when fishing for eels in stillwaters.

Freshwater (Coarse) Fish (Byelaw 3.f) The annual close season for fishing for freshwater fish -

• in rivers, streams and drains

• in all waters in the Specified Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (see opposite); Shall be the period from and including the 15th day of March to and including the 15th day of June following. On all other waters there shall be no statutory close season for freshwater fish. NB. The coarse fish close season in rivers, streams and drains is a national byelaw.

A national Environment Agency byelaw removing the coarse fish close season on canals in England and Wales has now been approved. This byelaw dispenses with the statutory close season for coarse fish close season on any canal that:

~ has an artificial channel (cut); r has artificially maintained water levels with negligible flow over the majority of its length (other than that derived from water resources and navigation); ~ has a towpath over the majority of its length; ~ has a length in excess of 250 metres and - is not designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) This means that for canals in the Midlands Region there is no longer a close season for coarse fish subject to the above criteria. A list of the canal SSSI's that remain closed appear in the list opposite. To check local arrangemants please contact your nearest Environment Agency office. Please Note: This brings the position in England and Wales into line.

For your table showing the close season: for salmon, trout, freshwater fish and eels, please see page 106. Specified Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) (in the Midlands Region) which have a coarse fish close season

This licence is only valid when used during UK National Fishing week, for coarse and non- migratory trout fishing and when the holder is accompanied by a licensed angler. Many reservoirs contain high quality water and are a favourite venue for game anglers seeking specimen sized fish.

Native to the Pacific coast of America, the Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was introduced to England in 1884. There are only a handful of places in Britain where the Rainbow successfully breeds in the wild and therefore most of our fisheries are only sustained by stocking hatchery reared fish. The reason for this is considered to be that fast flowing water is essential to its reproductive cycle and that in such circumstances Brown Trout eggs hatch first and young 'Brownies' out compete Rainbow fry for territory. Rainbows are thought by many anglers to provide more exciting sport than our native fish. They get their name from the iridescent pink to red band that runs down the flank. Astbury Falls Fish Farm
