Offices Closed to Visitors

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) our offices in Carnforth and Whitehaven are closed to all visitors until further notice.

Normal service will otherwise be maintained as much as possible. If you wish to contact us you can e-mail us at [email protected] or call us on 01524 727970. To reduce the load on staff answering calls we encourage the use of e-mail instead of telephone where possible.

All permits will be processed as normal. As we are all social distancing, we encourage applications to be submitted by e-mail to [email protected] where possible and will accept digital, scanned copies or photographs as long as all the details are legible.

You can find our permit application forms online here: https://www.nw-ifca.gov.uk/fishing-permit-application/
