Always say it, early bird catches the worm, well this chap, net of eels, kit seized and reported, you must return eels once caught back to the water straight away unharmed - these are critically endangered species

Yesterday our Board met in the Midlands. They visited Lowdham Cocker Beck and saw the work that goes into maintaining flood protections after severe weather causes damage. They also visited Calverton fish farm and saw England’s largest fish-pass under construction. #TeamEA

No fishing means no #fishing at Hazelford Lock on the River Trent in Notts! This angler was caught by our enforcement team after a tip off. A joint operation with @nottspolice resulted in one other arrest. Both men had no licence and were at a site where #fishing is banned.
Our photographs show Hazelford Lock in Nottinghamshire where our enforcement team, helped by Notts Police, caught two men fishing without a licence and at a site where fishing is banned.
