A lease from a landowner of exclusive fishing rights over a defined stretch of river. The lease includes ancillary permissions such as permission to pass along the riverbank. It can be adapted to grant a lease to fish over still waters, such as a lake or pond.

If instead the landowner wants to grant permission to fish for a season with no rights to take and carry away fish, see Standard document, Fishing licence.

This lease contains integrated drafting notes which provide brief warnings, explanations and directions to assist with drafting and negotiation. The integrated drafting notes also link to practice notes and other relevant materials.
