Anyone know anything about fishing rights?

When we bought our cottage four years ago, the estate agent's details said that it was sold with fishing rights.
There is no mention of this on the deeds to the cottage.
Does anyone know how to prove this, if we want to sell on?
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

speaking to my solicitor friend, he says it should be on the deeds. if not, you have no rights.0

I'm not sure it's quite that simple. I'm no legal expert, but am a keen angler, and have read similar questions posted on one of the fishing forums I frequent. I'm sure someone there suggested if you own the land up to the riverbank, then you also own the riverbed to halfway across, and therfore the fishing rights from your land.
Not sure if that helps, but guess it's worth getting legal advice to get it checked out....
Edit: This is the thread in question, which *may* be helpful. A quick skim read suggests contacting the environment agency is a good bet.
