Ownership of Riverbanks, River Islands and small Lakes

  • Ownership of all land, including riverbanks, river islands and lakes, is disclosed in the Land Registry Title Register.
  • The Title Register can be obtained using the Riverbanks Search, which is map based.
  • One of the main purposes of this search is to find the ownership and details of the Fishing Rights.
  • The map on the application form requires you to trace around the outline of the land concerned, so that you can identify it.
  • The options allow you to identify the owners of Fishing Rights on the riverbank, of the riverbank itself, and ownership of land crossed to reach the riverbank, or all the ownerships of a small river island or lake.
