Remove fishing license fees

What the petition asks
We call on the government to remove fishing license fees.
Fishing is one of the only sports we have to pay a fee/ license to participate in. We believe that removing this would bring a new generation of people to the sport and potentially promote outdoor activities without having to pay to catch fish in local restriction free rivers and lakes.
