New LicenceHad an email a few weeks back from the EA concerning price increases and changes. As I read it you can buy a licence on any date and it will be valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. It also mentioned a coarse & trout would cover 3 rods, not 2. The price rise was nominal. People I have talked to think likewise. A friend, Saturday, asked me how much a concessionary coarse & trout was, I googled it and got the following table. I myself buy a Salmon licence as I fish in Wales a lot and can confirm the £54 concessionary as what I paid. This is the first time I have come across a two tier system, 2 rods or 3 at different prices. See table below from

Re: Fly fishing during closed seasonDuring the coarse fish close season you can fly fish and worm (using appropriate tackle) for Trout and Fly and spin for Salmon (Salmon licence needed). You can`t spin on a Trout licence. With regards Trout it must be reasonable to assume they are present in the stretch you are fishing. If worming acquaint yourself with the EA rules. A friend was challenged some years ago on the Teme, a club baliff and then the BAA claimed his hook (size 8) was too small !! They were confusing this with the hook size for Eel fishing on rivers during this period (minimum 1/2" gape). There was quite a rumpus until they finally checked with the EA. You will be OK on say the Teme where the Trout are prolific.
