Why are there two different prices for day tickets on the River Bush?
There is a special reduction in the price of any type of angling day ticket on the River Bush for anglers that have purchased any current DCAL Game Angling permit. Visiting anglers,fishing the R Bush on more than one occasion, may find it is cheaper to purchase a suitable DCAL permit to cover their holiday / visit as well. This will entitle them to purchase angling day tickets at the reduced price as well as providing free angling opportunities on other DCAL angling waters. As there are many combinations of licence/permit/day ticket anglers should carry out their own calculations based on their angling needs to see what approach offers best value for money.
