Fishing Permits

Before you fish the Wey, you'll need a rod licence and a permit for the stretch you're fishing. Here's where to get them.

Environment Agency rod licence

Everyone aged 13 and over needs a rod licence to fish in England. Buy online at gov.uk or by phone. Licences are available for a day, a week, or a year. This is a legal requirement--bailiffs do check.

Club permits

Different stretches of the Wey are controlled by different clubs. You'll need a day ticket or membership for the club controlling your chosen stretch. Day tickets typically cost £5-10. Some clubs offer season tickets for regular visitors.

Where to buy day tickets

Some clubs also sell permits online through their websites or via platforms like Clubmate.

Night fishing

Rules vary by club. Most require advance permission for night fishing and some stretches don't allow it. Check with the relevant club before planning an overnight session.
