Fishing Rights Agreements for Lakes, Ponds and Rivers

These professionally drafted Fishing Rights Agreements for Lakes, Ponds and Rivers allow land owners to grant fishing rights in a river, lake or pond on their land.   They are easy to use and cover a range of scenarios involving fishing agreements.

The fishing licences can be used to grant fishing rights to individual anglers or to the trustees of an angling club. The licence is granted for a fixed term and the licence fee is payable annually. The licensee is given rights to drive over and park on the landowner’s property and non-exclusive rights to fish in the river, lake or pond. The landowner can limit the days on which and hours during which the fishing rights may be exercised. The licensee must comply with relevant laws and byelaws and exercise the fishing rights in a sportsmanlike manner.

The fishing leases can be granted to an angling club. They grant a lease of a clubhouse and give the club exclusive rights to fish in the river, lake or pond. The leases are designed for longer term or larger scale arrangements than the licences, and/or can be used where the club is to have the use of a building. The lease templates have similar covenants to the licence templates but are more comprehensive.  There is also guidance on security of tenure and on the importance of considering whether to give an occupier the right to remain at the end of a lease term or not, and if not, what must be done to exclude this.

The documents are constructed in Word format, and can be customised to meet your requirements. Please click on the links below to access the documents.
