Carp anglers are bleeding weird.
Not that I agree with the carp theft.
But they are.

Anyone found taking carp from any lake should be stuffed and mounted in a glass case.

Eels are very popular nowdays, especially in high end restaurants. They've come along way from just being stuck in jelly. And baby eels, the name escapes me, are a sought after delicacy. And isn't the River Lea full of these American Crayfish? I don't mind them either.

AMerican Crayfish are fair game as well. The yank fuckers.

Had a fatastic pike terrine in Balls Bros near Lloyds about 8 years ago.
Bloody delicious.
Anglers are utterly boring cunts.

Without googling, I think you only need a rod and line to catch and keep trout and salmon, I don't think the method is otherwise specific. Could be wrong though.

Eels are indeed fair game, and why they became popular amongst the poor as a food source. They could be caught, removed, and eaten without fear of prosecution.
Salmon and Trout are game fish and have different rules, but again can only be removed with the permission of the fishery owner and only if they are above a certain size to ensure sustainability.

All coarse fish must be returned to the same water from which they were caught. This is to prevent the spread of disease among other things. A particular type Environment Agency Licence is required to move fish between different water courses and they have to be informed every time it's done and must authorise the move. Some exceptions exist for invasive or predatory species, but again permission is usually required.
Catch and release is condition of an angler holding a fishing licence, which all must have.

What Sxboy_66 said. All fresh water fish are considered livestock, except river trout and salmon which you can keep over a certain size with the appropriate license.

Mashed - most carp fisheries are in private ownership. Certainly ones where the stock has been carefully managed at great expense.
To replace one 20lb Carp that has been taken would cost a fishery close to £1000 if they bought one that size. That's why most spend a lot of time and effort raising their own.
It's theft, exactly the same as rustling livestock.

Serious question if you were to walk down to your local lake/canal/whatever and sit there with your rod out for a bit (hehehe etc.) and catch a load of fish and take them home and eat them would it be illegal?
Or is it only certain types of fish that are protected?
And if so why?
