FISHING GUIDE 1997/98 A Guide to day ticket fisheries in the Midlands A GUIDE WELCOME FOR ANGLERS
"I am privileged to have the opportunity of introducing the latest edition of this ever popular Fishing Guide published by the M idlands Region o f the Environment Agency.
I believe this Guide, together with other lines of communication such as the ‘Fisheries News’ magazine which is freely available, offers reassurance to anglers and other river users that the Agency’s commitment to safeguarding and improving the water environment is as strong as ever. I can assure you that there is a real awareness within the Agency of the vital environmental role anglers play which can be enhanced still further by anglers continuing to both support the work of Fisheries staff and to provide information on the health of our rivers. Real benefits have resulted from this partnership to date including improvements to fish habitat, river water quality and river flows. This partnership is one which the Agency wishes to encourage and considers must continue if together we are to secure the long term well-being of our fisheries for both present and future generations.
I ask all recipients of this guide to help the Agency respond to the environmental challenges which lie ahead by keeping us informed about any potential problems identified.”
Best wishes and tight lines.

1 INTRODUCTION A GUIDE FOR ANGLERS
The Midlands Region of the Environment Agency stretches from the Humber estuary in the north to the Severn estuary in the south and from the Welsh borders to the East Midlands. For Fisheries purposes, the area covered and officers responsible remain the same as those encompassed by the former NRA Severn and Trent catchment boundaries (see map overleaf). With over 7000 km of river, almost 1000 km of canal and an increasing number of stillwaters, the Region contains an extremely varied and important fisheries resource.
En v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y
All the major rivers and canals support valuable coarse fisheries along much of their length. 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 the quality of life o f many people.

WH Y DO YOU Every angler must have an Environment Agency rod licence before NEED A LICENCE? he or she starts fishing (see page 10). Not only is fishing without a licence a criminal offence, carrying a maximum fine of £2500, it also deprives the Agency of the funds it needs to carry out vital work. The Fisheries section of the Agency is becoming increasingly reliant on income from licence sales as Government funding is reduced (see Fig 1). Anglers who do not buy a licence are spoiling the sport for others and threaten the long-term health o f our fisheries.
WHAT DOES THE Under the Environment Act 1995 (and formerly the Salmon and EA DO FOR Freshwater Fisheries Act, 1975) the Environment Agency has FISHERIES? a statutory duty to maintain, improve and develop fisheries. We do this for the benefit of anglers, commercial netsmen and the general public.
WHAT DOES • We can use various legal powers to protect fish and fisheries THIS MEAN? from over-exploitation and other damaging activities • We can develop a programme to improve those fisheries which have previously been damaged through development or neglect • We can increase the availability of fishing opportunities, both for recreational and commercial fishing THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY WILL ACHIEVE THESE AIMS THROUGH;
ENFORCEMENT Our team of highly skilled Fishery Inspectors and Water Bailiffs patrol the region’s fisheries, making sure that anglers and commercial netsmen have valid licences and are abiding by the necessary byelaws. In 1995/6 Agency staff, challenged 40,850 anglers in this region and this resulted in over 1000 licence and byelaw prosecutions. Make sure you get a licence before you go fishing. In addition, specially trained staff protect Salmon against poachers. Nowadays, poachers are often formed into highly organised criminal gangs. FISHERIES & THE AGENCY _ mnc ______A GUIDE MMMMMMMMMMMMML f o r a n g l e r s
Under the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act, 1975 we ensure REGULATION that fishing and fisheries continue to exist together on sustainable basis. It is an offence to stock fish into any water without permission and laws are aimed at preventing the spread of diseases and exotic fish species. Anyone wishing to introduce fish into any watercourse or stillwater should contact their local Environment Agency office.

To protect and improve fisheries, we must first assess the general MONITORING nature and health of the fish stocks. Agency scientists carried out surveys at 426 sites across the region in 1995/6 using electric fishing, netting and echo-sounding techniques.
We are dedicated to improving the water quality of rivers and canals. WATER QUALITY A vital part of the work of the Fisheries department is to make IMPROVEMENTS sure that the needs of fish and fish stocks are catered for in water quality improvement programmes. In addition, Fisheries staff are investigating new methods of combating the effects of acid rain on upland tributaries. FISHERIES & THE AGENCY A G UIDE FOR ANGLERS
PHYSICAL HABITAT The physical nature o f a river is as important to fish as the IMPROVEMENTS quality of the water. Many rivers have been canalised in the past to speed land drainage and help navigation. Fisheries staff are trying to restore as many rivers as possible to a more natural state. This is done by constructing meanders, riffles, groynes and fish passes to improve the opportunities for fish spawning and survival.

REARING Our coarse fish farm, located at Calverton, Nottinghamshire is the AND STOCKING only one of its kind in Europe and produces 300,000 high quality dace, chub, barbel and roach each year. These are needed to replace fish lost through pollution and to give improving river fisheries a “kick-start”. This region also rears 100,000 salmon fry each year which are stocked into the River Severn and its tributaries.
Unfortunately, whether it be accidental, deliberate or due to natural FISH MORTALITIES causes, pollution does occur and does kill a large number o f fish each year. We try to attend every reported pollution incident, to establish the cause of the problem, to take action and decide whether FISHERIES______& THE AGENCY__ ___ A G U ID E nMMMMnHnMMMMMLFOR a n g l e r s
to prosecute. Where possible, fish are moved to other waters for safety and returned when the water quality has been restored. In 1995/6, there were 234 such incidents, accounting for 105,000 fish deaths. This was a large and unwelcome increase on the previous year and was mainly due to the prolonged warm dry summer. Large amounts of pollution were washed out of Birmingham’s storm sewers by sever storms at the height of the dry spell. The low summer flows in several rivers, but principally the Tame and Trent, meant that there was very litde dilution and there were several major fish kills as a result of dissolved oxygen being stripped out of the water. Whilst prompt action by the Environment Agency saved a large number o f fish, this incident has set back the re-establishment of the Tame as an important fishery. If you see pollution or any activity which may damage the water environment, please contact the Environment Agency on its Freephone Emergency Number - 0800 80 70 60.
We are consulted over development plans and seek to influence Local PLANNING AND Authorities over proposals for buildings, roads or other land uses to DEVELOPMENT protect fisheries and other aspects of the river environment. CONTROL
All the above activities cost money (see Fig.2) and in 1996/97 we THE ANGLER S spent over £2 million on vital Fisheries work in the Midlands ROLE Region. This service costs each angler the price of a licence - just £16.00 for the vast majority - and with guidance from the Regional Fisheries Advisory Committee, we take great care that this income is spent in the most cost-effective way. We appreciate and are encour aged by the high degree of support we receive from anglers, in terms of licence sales and the information provided by the “eyes and ears” of the river bank. The well-being of fishing and fisheries is an important concern of the new Environment Agency and is dependant on the goodwill and support of anglers - for the future of your sport, please make sure you have a valid licence.
The annual rod licence is valid from the 1st April, or the date o f purchase if later, REMEMBER up to the following J lst March. Licences are available from all Post Offices.
8 ACU10i ANGLERS CODE FOR ANGLERS
COURTESY Please take into account other river users and:- • Take care not to block the footpath with your fishing tackle • Look out for others when casting • Appreciate some boats may need to come close to the bank
CONSERVATION Conservation of our rivers benefits everyone especially anglers so:- • Take all your tackle home. Hooks and line are lethal to wildlife • Don’t leave food or bait when you leave This encourages vermin and increases the health risk • Leave your peg tidy Litter, especially plastic will stay around for years and is a danger to wildlife and livestock • Help conserve fish stocks by following the NFA keep net code and match rules
SAFETY Water can be very dangerous - do not take unnecessary risks. Fishing near overhead powerlines can be extremely dangerous - do not take unnecessary risks. More information can be obtained from the National Federation o f Anglers.
HEALTH Weil’s Disease (Leptospirosis) - All rivers and natural bodies contain pathogens which can be harmful to health. In particular, the leptospiral bacteria which cause Weil's disease can be present wherever rodents are found specially near or in water. Weil’s disease can be dangerous and in extreme cases can result in serious illness or death. The infection is contracted mainly through open cuts and abrasion in the skin. Make sure all cuts are covered with a waterproof plaster or waterproof clothing. The disease often feels like flu in the early stages and early advice should be sought from your doctor if you develop the symptoms following a fishing trip.

11 R VERS COARSE ......
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 (Barbus harbus) have become increasingly popular with river anglers. This hard fighting fish is normally found in deep fast flowing water hut 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 I6lb 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. RIVERS C O A R S E Jiiaaiiaaaaaaaaaaiaiai

Some coarse fish, such as carp, have developed characteristics which enable them to exploit stillwaters very efficiently.
Carp (Cyprinus carpio) are native to Asia bin were thought to be introduced to this country by monks in the middle ages as food supply. Kept in monastery 'slew ponds', carp provided an essential source of prolcin during the long winter months. Variants from the ‘common* form include 'leather' (no scales) and 'mirror' (few v.large stales)
and in this country grow to over SOIbs in weight. Carp enjoy rich warm water conditions and can tolerate surprising low oxygen levels. Carp fishing is now
a highly individual and specialised sport bin many people enjoy the antics
o f fish al spawning time when they splash about in the reeds and weeds. Females lan produce over 2 million eggs in a single season and both sexes can live 60 years or more. . . ■ i,, STILLWATERS COARSE

Certain rivers have the necessary physical structure and water quality attributes to support thriving game fisheries.
Salmon (Salmo salar) is tilt' most revered of all the game fish. Ii also has one of
the most fascinating life cycles in all the animal kingdom Adult females la) eggs in the upper reaches of rivers using nests called ‘redds’ made in gravel. After about
three >ears. young fish begin to changc h) a process tailed smolt i fic at ion in
preparation for migration to sea. They may spend one or several >ears in the cold waters of the north Atlantic where they lake on a characteristic pink colouration to the flesh. Fish returning to freshwater to breed have to get past man) 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. Ama/ingly salmon are able to lind the actual river in which they were born. Rather punling 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. , ^ ^

INSTITUTE OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT
The institute of Fisheries Management is an international organisation of persons sharing a common interest in the modern management of recreational and commercial fisheries.
Membership is drawn from many sources - professional fishery managers, research bodies, angling clubs, fish farms and private individuals who share a common interest in fisheries.
Correspondence courses, at Certificate and Diploma level are organised to train persons in fisheries management and fish farming. Branches organise one day conferences and evening talks.

For information on the Institute and catalogue contact:- Valerie Holt, 22 Rushworth Avenue, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 7LF. Tel: 0115 982 2317 Fax: 0115 982 6150 rAUB STILLWATERS GAME ......
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 AM eggs hatch first and young ‘Brownies' out compete GW Rainbow fry for territory. Rainbows are thought by many anglers to provide more
exciting sport that our native fish. The) get their name from the iridescent pink to red band that runs down the flank.
