5 Midlands Region byelaws Byelaws are the statutory rules and regulations put in place by the Environment Agency which must be complied with by all anglers fishing in the Midlands Region. They exist to prevent damage to fish stocks from insensitive fishing methods and to make sure that fisheries are sustainable for the enjoyment of current and future generations of anglers. These byelaws apply to all types of fisheries, be they owned by angling clubs, syndicates, local authorities or by private individuals. Whilst fishery owners may impose additional more stringent regulations, they are not able to dispense with any of the fishery byelaws. They may, for example, restrict the number of rods a coarse angler can use to two, if they feel it is in the best interest of their fishery. 3

6 However they may not remove the Agency's maximum limit and allow more than four rods to be fished. Fortunately, the vast majority of anglers and fishery owners are responsible and law abiding. However, there is no room for complacency as the Agency takes a dim view of byelaw offences and will always take action against offending anglers.
