1. Is any tackle provided?

2. Are rod or fishing licences required, and, if so, how can they be purchased?

3. Is there a safe space to store tackle (and bait)?

4. What type of fishing is available, e.g. carp ponds, trout lakes, river banks, beaches, estuaries or rock marks?

5. What are the best baits?

6. When is the close season?

7. If game fishing, what are the restrictions per rod?
