Jubilee Pond Fishing Permit

At their December 2023 meeting, Gilberdyke Parish Council agreed new rules for the issue of fishing permits and new conditions for fishing at Jubilee Pond, Gilberdyke.

The purpose of the new rules and conditions is to ensure the long term future of fishing at Jubilee Pond by managing the number of permit holders, supporting those learning the sport and delivering continued improvements to the site.

The main change is the introduction of annual renewal for permits. This will help the Parish Council to understand the numbers fishing at Jubilee Pond and ensure compliance with data protection principles.

The other significant change is that those who do not live in Gilberdyke parish will now be charged a fee for their permit. All income generated by these fees will be exclusively used to improve facilities at Jubilee Pond.

What licenses and permits do I need?
If you are aged 16 years or older, you must have a valid Rod Fishing Licence and a Jubilee Pond Fishing Permit.

If you are a child aged between 13 and 16, you must have a valid Junior Licence but you do not need a Jubilee Pond Fishing Permit.

If you are a child aged 12 and under you do not need a licence or a permit, but you must be supervised by a person aged over 18 who must have a valid Rod Fishing Licence and a Jubilee Pond Fishing Permit, and they will be responsible for observing the rules for fishing outlined below.

How do I get a Rod Fishing Licence or Junior Licence?
You can only buy a Rod Fishing Licence from GOV.uk

Licences for children aged between 13 and 16 are free. You’ll still need to get a junior licence.
