My wife is a Brit and we were trying to figure out where I could go fishing over there. Not much chance of that I am afraid. check out this link that explains some of their fishing laws. totally barbaric and i am shocked

I lived there for 23 years and fished without problems - its not too bad really. In practice there are a fair amount of places to fish (course fish anyway, there is virtually no game fishing)
Its more restrictive than Canadian laws but it has to be - the UK has twice as many people as Canada in a landmass that is SEVEN TIMES smaller than just Quebec! (244,110km to 1,600,000km) so there is a lot more pressure on the water than in Canada.

what i find the most disturbing is that if you live on the water it doesn't mean the you can toss a line in and fish. is Zander the same as our walleye?
