Thread: Family fishing licence

My neighbour was telling me today how the so called family fishing licence works...apparently the principle holder has to be present when say any of the other members are fishing...seems a bit unfair if, say, father was the principle holder and at work (during the school holidays) means that mother and children cannot go fishing...I would have thought that as it is a 'family' licence anyone of the listed family members should be entitled to fish on that licence (in the absence of the principle holder). Seems pretty mean to me especially when all are encouraged to get the young ones out there.
