Fishing Rod license for non-UK

[grundy]

Hey Lads,

Some of you might have seen my other posts, but I'll summarise quickly.
I'm over here from Aus for a while and will be doing lots of fishing.

I wanted to get everything ready ahead of time, but getting a Rod license for the UK has been a hassle.
I couldn't get it online as it required a UK postal address, so I waited until I arrived today to find a Post office and get one in person.
Yet, I still needed a UK address...

This system seems a bit flawed for those of us wanting to come over to fish UK waters!
I gave the Post guys an address where I am staying for a few days and I have my full receipt showing what license I have and all required details.
Will this be ok to present if my 'Rod License' is requested?

Has anyone here had friends visit from overseas and have similar issues getting a license or are all non-UK fishermen exempt from having to hold a license? ;)

Aslong As You Have The Post Office Recipt Your Perfectly Legal To Fish. Some People Didnt Even Get There Correct License Last Year And Had The Reciept From The Post Office For All Of Last Season.
