Just a thought but maybe because it's against foreign office advice, invalidates your travel insurance and breakdown cover. Not difficult is it. Plus do you expect anglers to lose 2 weeks wages on their return because of quarantine.
I wouldn't want fisheries to be closing and I understand their predicament but it is still more sensible to stay at home then travel.

Insurance will not cover you for UK quarantine requirements so no need to have a discussion about insurance. Current UK travel advice is do not go to France except for essential reasons.
If your due to go soon and can't do the 2 week quarantine then it's down to a discussion with the lake owner. Most lakes T's and C's are brief and usually drop to 'owners discretion'. If the lake owner isn't willing to move your booking (You can't really expect a refund full or partial) then you just have to swallow the loss.
Tough times for anglers and fishery owners.

Due out in 2 weeks so I spoke to my bank as i have holiday insurance through them. They said i will be able to make a claim because of UK quarantine restrictions but will charge me £75 excess per person. Spoke to the Lake owners and because the French have not imposed any restrictions yet and the lake is still open, they are not at liberty to offer me a refund. Might be possible to reschedule to next year but not had that discussion with them yet.

Due to go to Abbey next Friday and unfortunately I cannot quarantine for two weeks on my return .
They are not prepared to move the week as country still not in lockdown and they are open for business ( which I understand ) gutted I can't go also have a trip booked for the end of October to Woods on Goncourt .
That has been booked for around two years and just hoping things change by then

So i cancelled my trip last week. I cant risk the quarantine as i am on my own so would be pooping myself when walking the dog or shopping. Managed to reschedule ferry for our trip next year but the insurance was not what i expected. They said my friend would have to make a separate claim with his bank but he doesnt have the insurance, even though the bank had already said i can make a claim for both. So they offered me half of the total cost minus the £75 excess. Pretty sure we wont be able to get my mates money back so i have given him half of what i will receive which will pay the deposit for next years trip.

You are a gentleman Sir!

We were due out to france 26th sept, however with the current quarentine situation we have delayed our trip to 7th Nov in the hope that france gets lifted from the list...
(Our group of 4 are either self employed or cannot work from home on return, plus wives that work in nhs etc so not worth the risk to go sept)
The fishery were happy to change our weeks no problem, no extra cost etc, tunnel booking easy to move as well to new dates.
Lets hope things improve , but its still looking bleak case number wise across Europe...

We were due out the week before, took the decision last week to amend the booking Spoke with Bas at the Carp Specialist he has honoured the booking for 2021 or 2022 as he has had that many cancellations for this year that next years diaries are filling up, we have managed to get the week after same month next year.
Spoke to Brittany ferries then to reschedule my crossing that I had for October to September next year as I have a booking at Rainbow which was an extra 12 quid can't say fairer than that, will re book next Octobers crossing later this year to see if the Portsmouth to Le Harve route opens back up as it's cheaper than the Caen crossing by about 100 sheets.
