i just roll a spare canister up in my fleece and take it to bed with me, believe me it works

Maybe that's because you don't need a driving licence to actually OWN a car. Similarly you don't need a fishing licence to OWN a fishing rod and reel. But in both instances you DO need a licence if you intend to USE either. Now it's the same situation.

Quite simply YES! I also think fisheries themselves should be licensed, especially Day ticket commercials.

Keep the bottle in the bottom of the sleeping bag if its an overnighter

The cover is a waste of money , all you are doing with the cover on and the gas canister is making it colder , so you are insulating the cold can and keeping it cold .

Personal view... YES! before a ticket is issued a valid rod license should be produced. Clubs and syndicates should do it too. A very complex system would be required for the online purchases though, some form of verification with the EA database. Problem is it creates more hassle than its worth. You'd lose money, have to chuck someone off the fishery which could result in aggro. An EA officer was assaulted recently http://www.anglersmail.co.uk/news/rod-licence-dodger-guilty-of-assault-74962 A responsible fishery owner would check, one that cares about the industry/environment/etc. unfortunately many are only in it for the money and dont actually care beyond growing the bank balance.
