What the petition asks

Annual three-month river closed season that was put in place in 1878.
and with no actual science attached to it at the time ..so either needs be abolish or rethinking

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

England and Wales are broken down into regions that each have their own rules for freshwater fishing, including closed seasons.

You can find out more here:

In England, these rules are set by the Environment Agency, so we could accept a petition calling for a specific change in England.

In Wales, these rules are the responsibility of Natural Resources Wales:
