No travel abroad at the moment. If you have a cancelled trip and tons of bait please remember you are fishing UK waters and don't do what happened last year.
Piling in mountains of bait just killed the fishing in many venues.
Let's enjoy ourselves and catch some fish. Good luck all.

I think folk are just letting steam off so would not take it personally. I've worked from home all through this lockdown like many others. Some are unfortunate to be on furlough I hope they get back to work at some point, some have lost their jobs - whatever we have no real right to judge or cast dispersions.
We've all done what we've done of course some will think they are a little more important 😀 but hey ho.
We can go night fishing 👍🏼

I expect so. I'm paying a lot of money for 2 syndicates and am going to neither. Unless you're very lucky, fishing in the UK = too many carp anglers and not enough water...

Sadly true but it is what it is. The same could be said of golf courses I expect.
I have a new friend in Hungary who likes carp fishing, I expect it will be different there

I assume we've all seen the updated rules from the government? Or are we taking the AT on face value?

I must admit I haven't seen anything yet, although I haven't looked deep into it.
I'm sure they will probably be correct, but there is always a but

Dont get me wrong I'm sure they are correct, but personally I like to make my own mind up about it.

Its inevitably going to be busy pretty much everywhere. You cant really blame folk for wanting to get out tho. See a few slagging and bitching about it and to be honest it is what it is. Prob the same people who moan about traffic, when they are sat in it....not realising they are also contributing to that traffic.
No one has any more right to fish than anyone else.

Easter is always busy, with the fair weather carp anglers dusting off their gear. This will be made twice as bad with the amount of 'newbies' who have taken up fishing whilst on furlough. My local club lake has allowed fishing throughout for local anglers and it has remained relatively quiet. Last night was like Brasenose one in the height of summer - Bivvies in every available peg and spods flying everywhere. Hopefully this will get back to normal, when the pubs open and all the furloughed staff get to work for a living again. PS. I've been lucky enough to work right through and am just starting a stint of 10 x 12 hr shifts, so will miss this madness for a while.

I've always found easter to be fairly quiet on lakes actually, prob a combination of people doing stuff with their families and/or people avoiding it as they think it will be busy.
