Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
This had me wondering the other day, I used to be a keen angler but for the last two years haven't bothered buying a license so haven't fished. I'm going to get one again this year but I was wondering, when people hobo fish do they have a license?

Whatever you decide please make sure you get an appropriate licence. Game or Course. You can get a day licence if required and it doesn't cost much. If you're after migratory trout you'll need a game licence.
You should have a licence for hobo fishing, but i doubt most ever do. I think a lot of folk use a hobo kit to see if they could "just in case", not as a permy set up. But either way, they should have a licence yes.
Still, where's the fun if its not illegal?? its not like youre gonna need one when it all goes belly up!

I don't think many people do to be honest. There was a thread on the subject, but it was removed. We could do with a sticky on the subject.
I dont know if its still under review or what. but has the info needs to be somewhere
If you're going to do it - please do it properly - Get a 6ft telescopic rod (it will pack very small), some seven pound line, a small spinning reel, an assortment of spinners and floats some lead free weights or putty, 4lb hooklengths, some size 14,12 and 10 hooks and a licence plus appropriate day ticket.
If you're fishing for survival than I'd be setting baited multihook deadlines and wicker fishtraps (which will also catch crays).
BTW. You also need a licence for catching crayfish

Is hobo fishing illegal on the coast though? Im sure ive seen, plenty of people fishing that way from beaches?
You can crabline from a pier or marina wall with no need for licence - Sea fishing requires no licences but I suspect deadlining would be frowned on.
I didnt know this either!! Im learning loads on this thread...thanks for all the good info!

Bushcraft fishing is not to use rod to my mind. One good way of cathing fish easily and efectively is to do like this:
You need a river!
You need a looooong stick... Like 9 feet ir so.
All you need from home is some line and small hooks.
Catch some bugs or grasshoppers.
The way you do this is very simple AND effective! The stick you prepared should be long enough to reach out at least a meter into river. You stick it in a ground on about 60 percent angle, line should be just long enough to reach water. You put your bait on hook. The secret is here: your setup should work in a way, that you would not need to stay there fishing. Good stick and line length combination should give the effect of bait being on the very suface of water and moving with current, then springing back again, landing, floating, springing, landing, floating, springing................ What are the advantages of this technique? If you get it right it needs less stuff even than hobo fishing, it's definetly MORE effective as you leave it to be and BIG fish comes to investigate. Is it legal????? God knows people, to me it's the same as leaving your rod on the bank of a river.... Buts it is the best way to catch all kind of white fish, trout and so on without all the equipment..

I can only really speak for coastal life, but im fairly certain theres nothing illegal about handline sea fishing

Its illegal to leave an unattended line in the water, whether attached to the end of a rod or not.
