in some countries if epedemic is declared refunds must be made by law... now if that is posible or companies will declare bankruptcy or find another way out is another matter... that is why many countries requaire travel agancies to have an insurance for such cases but than again insurance companies can declare bankroptcy etc...

We have just spoken to Bill at Bill's Lake and he has just has a meeting with the local mayor about the classification of essential businesses to be closed. The mayor has said that all commerce business/shops are closed but businesses like Bill's Lake are still ok to be open for business.
So basically all French lakes are still open as usual... hope this helps.

What makes you think lakes have funds to give back to people? It is the same as any other holiday, you claim off your travel insurance. The only problem that would occur is if you've gone to a lake that isn't correctly registered.

Or given you an invoice to give to your insurers!

Fisheries rely on paying customers. If you treat your customers like cash cows and do nothing other than fob them off then their reputation will take a hit. It'll not take too many unhappy keyboard warriors to see to that.
Other fisheries are doing refunds, moving booking dates etc

I personally would be more than happy to take later booking even if it is after a year or two... If lake owner is trying to resolve this in civilised way.. Telling anglers of to take it up to insurance is far from that in my opinion... It is more than clear now that at least april&may booking will have problems...

Most fisheries and booking agencies will have in their Terms & Conditions a clause that covers them in the eventuality of this type of event so they don't have to refund you. Then it is up to you to claim on your insurance. All insurances are different but generally they should pay out IF you took the policy out before the Coronavirus issue started.
Some venues are offering holiday date changes and refunds even if they are covered by their Terms & Conditions and they are doing this to help their customers IF they can afford to do so.
Let's hope that France or the ports don't go into full lockdown and we can carry on as normal.

As it should be to be honest. That is what insurance is for!! You think the fishery should pay everyone back? Bye bye fisheries in that case
