ANGLERS in the South can now cast their lines into cyberspace to fish for their rod licences.

The environment Agency has launched a new online rod licensing service. This means anglers can get anything from a full licence to just a day-long one over the Internet, from the Fish e-pages of: www.environment-agency.gov.uk/fish

Regional fisheries manager Stuart Bray said: "All anglers need a rod licence to be able to fish and the agency is always looking to improve opportunities for anglers to buy their licences."
