That might be the case but UK anglers will not be fishing in France in May, travel restrictions will still be in place then either here or there.

And the problem will be they'll be people booked on lakes and the lakes will be open but we can't travel there.
That's not the lake owners fault he'll be open for business so UK anglers may have to lose deposits and payments?

Exactly, except I don´t think many fisheries in France will seriously believe that they will be open in May and I don´t think many people who booked in May will have paid their holiday balance in March.

@oldfellah. What's the situation at your lake moulin Du mee.....regarding your shutdown ? Are you refunding full booking? Keeping deposits?? or changing bookings affected to alternative dates ? Or are you telling people to claim through there travel insurance..I take it with so many regulars returning yearly to your venue you have looked after them ?? Wouid be interesting to hear what lake owners are looking after there customers and what ones are telling them to claim through insurance or keeping deposits etc...my trip to la Saule Paquot has been rearranged with no hesitation by the owner Tony who couldn't do enough to help his customers in this Coronavirus shutdown..

If anglers can claim through their travel insurance then that's great for all concerned and not to be sniffed at. In our case we have carried any deposits paid over to the next booking. As most of our guests are regulars that suits them fine. I would add that without exception our anglers have been understanding of the situation and extremely helpful. There is a lot said about the importance of fisheries looking after their anglers but perhaps it would be nice to hear of the many anglers that have such a good relationship with their fishery that they are thinking of their plight in this difficult time. I have been inundated with supportive messages and even had a couple of anglers offer to help with the cost of feeding the fish during the shutdown. As our anglers are now friends of long standing in the main we are working through this difficult phase together.
I would also add that the big losers financially are the fisheries who have a total loss of income during the shutdown. It will not surprise me if a good many venue's will not be in a position to weather the lock down period. Very sad for all concerned.
And perhaps most important of all is to stay safe and hope that this bloody plague doesn't take anyone dear to you.

It's good to hear of a decent business doing right by its customers who behave in a similar manner
