Laws - The core of fishing
What is Laws?
Again, a basic but very important page. Without knowing these rules and regulations we cannot fish where we like. It shows you the rules of each individual lake or sea. And mabye some general fishing laws. Some laws we do not need to know, such as no boats in the water, there for I will not write them down. Dont go breaking them!
It is usually only lakes that have rules and cost money too fish in. There are places such as Redcliffe Point, Portland Bill, and the Stone Pier that dont need a license and dont need a fishing permit for the current day either. You can just take a rod, some bait and go fishing for the day! But, however, if you wish too catch some nice big fish, e.g carp, lake fishing is best. Too here more about the differen't places too fish within Weymouth, follow the link below.
