The venue itself is the most reliable source for current prices, day tickets and bookings: use the "Visit website" link on this page. Many Wales fisheries also post prices on their social media pages.
On rivers in England and Wales the coarse-fishing close season runs from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. Most stillwaters and canals, including commercial fisheries, stay open all year, though individual venues set their own rules, so check before travelling.
Yes, anyone aged 13 or over fishing for freshwater fish in England or Wales needs a rod licence, even on private waters like Alwen Reservoir. In Wales the licence is issued by Natural Resources Wales, but it is the same scheme as the Environment Agency's in England: one licence covers both countries and you buy it through the same gov.uk service. A 12-month 2-rod licence is £36.80 in 2026, and juniors aged 13–16 fish free but must register. Read our full guide at /blog/fishing-licence-uk-guide.
