Reservoir fishing costs fixed

Licence fees frozen at just under £210

Anglers in the Island's reservoirs have had their licence fees frozen for the year ahead.

The cost of an adult permit for ten months will remain at £208 - while day and week licences are also available, as well as passes for youngsters and the elderly.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has promised a 'plentiful' and complete stock of rainbow trout too, after the population was decimated during the December 2015 floods.

Stocking is set to begin imminently, ahead of the fishing season beginning on 10 March.

You can purchase your licence from the end of this month at gov.im, from the Welcome Centre in Douglas, or at the DEFA headquarters in St John's.
