Sharpley springs (licence)

[canman]

Can anyone tell me if you can obtain a day licence at sharply spings.

I think you can still get a 1 day course/non migratory trout rod license from the post office. Then you just buy a day ticket from Sharpley. When posty is shut I think you can do it online and they give you a number to take with you.

Hope that helps

Or you could pop to Chatton fishery further north, no rod license needed there Home

Cheers for that Mick. Didn't know there was anywhere you could fish without a licence. Is it well stocked?

I always here good things about it. I've only fished it once (only coz I sea fish now), had 9 trout that day (my best day fly fishing actually) My father in law went there a week ago or so had about 4 or 5 good trout out. Saying that, he had a 14lb odd one from Sharpley yesterday lol

The rod license isnt needed because of a legal loop hole I think lol sumit to do with the water coming from the tweed and that being classed as scottish water, and you dont need a license in Scotland. Something like that. All info on the website if I remember rightly

Great imfo Mick, thanks for that. I only fished a couple of times last year so never bothered to renew the yaerly licence, saw the calm forcast for today, and fancied a 4hr catch/release session.

Well either will be fun. If you go to Chatton ask if they still do a loyalty card. Think after every 5 trips you get ya 6th free

Tight lines mate
