clear, concise and well planned.

Better than a queue of 50 vans outside eh?

I've had an email from the environment agency, others I suspect too?

We know how much you've all been waiting to get back out onto the banks safely. So we wanted to let you know that the Government's latest review of lockdown restrictions means that we can all do exactly that from today, Wednesday 13 May, in England only (the situation in Wales is being clarified, visit Natural Resources Wales for the latest position).

This decision recognises the fact that fishing can be done safely while still adhering to social distancing guidelines. Obviously this is great news for the entire angling community, but it's vital that when we do go fishing, we all do so responsibly and safely in order to continue playing our own part in protecting ourselves, others and key public services.

As we start returning to the banks, it's really important to follow the latest guidance on social distancing which remain in place. More detailed information on how to fish safely at this time can be found on the Angling Trust website.

Please don't forget to check that your licence is still valid before you head out. If your licence has expired, you can renew your licence at GOV.UK. You'll still need permission from the fisheries owner to go fishing and all byelaws, rules and regulations including the Close Season are still applicable at this time.

we'll start paying for it by the time the next budget comes out.

Tax rises, pay freezes. Of course if you're a lazy scrounger who exploits our benefit system, there's been no real change and you won't have to worry about paying more tax.....

a comment like that might just bite you on the arse if your lake in france relies on uk anglers..a lot of fellas on here might be self employed(like myself) and don't claim or get fck all..

have you been able to access the self employed workers government scheme site today? apparently it crashed due to demand...

hopefully something you can benefit from as it stinks how so many self employed have been treated so far...

fair enough

could be worth a look as it's been made simpler and they've widened the net a bit to include more people.

maybe tomorrow though...
