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.

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.

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 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.

Good few years ago I saw a 'type' with a spinning rod and spinner trying to cast across the backs of carp @ Walthamstow reservoirs - I gave him my best frown.. that showed him...
Also on the Lea on the North Marsh the bomb crater swim by the nature reserve has/had lots of fixed lines across it trying for the fish from the relief channel... Was best fishery in the country for a bit mid/late 80s, early 90s...sigh...

In my neck of the woods, it's the Asians taking vast amounts of undersized fish. They mince them up and make fishcakes.
Bastards. Huge fines if caught.
We walk along and look in their buckets, if there's undersized fish in there, which pretty much is all the time, we tip them back in the drink, dead or alive.
That's when the fights start.
