Thames Fisheries

Summary

Our role includes looking after the fish in all waters of the region, protecting their habitat and where possible, work to increase their numbers. We also actively encourage fishing as a healthy past time, which enables people from all walks of life to engage with their local environment. All of this work is paid for by rod license money collected.

Our work is varied but includes:

Monitoring fish populations
Improving fish habitats
Responding to emergencies
Increasing the opportunities for people to fish
Promoting fishing

Events for the new angler
Every spring and summer we help run angling taster sessions to introduce and coach people who are interested in trying out angling and seeing for themselves what it is all about. These sessions teach people the basics of angling and the environment.
New angler zone
If you are new to angling or have recently attended a taster day and want to find out what to do next, the following pages are here to help you.
Where to go fishing. A guide to coarse and game fisheries in Thames Region 2006/2007.
This guide includes rivers and stillwaters from the Cotswolds and the source of the River Thames, through the London area and out into the Thames Estuary.
Thames Region Byelaws
Byelaws apply to all waters, whether they are owned by angling clubs, local authorities or private individuals.
Fish and their environment
Part of what we do involves assessing fish populations and where they live. In 2005/6, rod licence income helped us to complete more than 30 projects to improve the environment.
