The image on this year's non-migratory trout and coarse fishing rod licence is a chub (Leuciscus cephalus).

Most fly rods have them fitted, but why so few coarse rods have them remains a mystery to me. Many anglers when moving from swim to swim or whatever, will put their hook into the butt ring.

Projects must be located in England and involve a form of fishing requiring the purchase of an Environment Agency non-migratory and coarse Rod Licence.
