About licence/permit 

This article by Merseyside Anglers explains rod fishing licence (fees apply) and permit (free).

Angling permit – Liverpool City Council back to top

Before using any park lakes in Liverpool, you must obtain a permit from the council. This is to help promote good angling and conserve the quality of the lakes.

Once registered, it allows the council to contact anglers about any issues affecting the lakes, as well as giving the council a better idea as to how the council parks are used.

Rod fishing licences – Environment Agency back to top

You must have a rod fishing licence for England and Wales if you’re fishing for salmon, trout, freshwater fish, smelt or eel with a rod and line in:

• England (except the River Tweed)
• Wales
• the Border Esk region, including the parts of the river that are in Scotland
