A licence from a landowner permitting a licensee to fish for a season over a defined stretch of river. It is a licence to catch and release only. The licence includes ancillary permissions such as permission to pass along the riverbank. It can be adapted to grant a licence to fish over still water, such as a lake or pond.

If instead the landowner wants to grant rights to take and carry away fish, see Standard document, Lease of fishing rights.

This licence 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.
