Abstract

These Regulations of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture lay down provisions for recreational angling in the reservoirs and inland waters of the Isle of Man. They contain provisions for the annual close season, fishing licences and duties in respect of those fishing licences. A private or commercial coarse fishery may operate a different close season than that stipulated by the Department. There are four different classes of licence to be issued each year and each licence is in respect of a single rod and line. It is not permitted for a recreational angler to hold more than one of each class of licence. There are rules specific to fishing for salmon, trout, migratory trout, rainbow trout and eels.
