Some good news...
Vaccinated people to be allowed to travel in EU this summer without restrictions...
So.... If you fancy a trip to the EU to fish this year and possibly next year best you get yourself vaccinated and apply for that EU vaccination passport when it is rolled out..

It is not only proof of vaccination. It will show if you have had covid and proof of negative tests. I therefore assume it will allow travel for those unable to be vaccinated.

PCR or lateral flow?

who? there is no general rule for eu and there will not be one... Each country will still set their own limits/rules... it only makes sense as each country is affected differently by virus... this app/document or however we want to call it will only be a common way to show what you did or you have regarding virus (pcr or hat test, vaccine when and which one, proof that you had corona etc).

Chances are if you want to travel to the EU for the foreseeable future that there will be requirements to prove your health status, we require something similar to come to the UK now, Covid isn't going away any time soon so this may be the norm for many years to come.
This will be the new normal until either Covid 19 is eradicated or it eradicates us.

Its extremely unlikely that Covid 19 will ever be eradicated.
Mankind has only ever eradicated 1 disease in its History- Smallpox.
Therefore if you are correct travel restrictions will be the new normal,
Or we learn to treat it like flu (which once most of the world population is vaccinated it largely will be).
I can not see much hope European travel before Autumn (when most of UK will be fully vaccinated and after the risks of children (un-vaccinated) going abroad and bringing it back has diminished because of school Holidays ended). Even this will be subject to an EU/UK agreement on a standard Covid Passport- and as we know from experience agreement between the UK and EU is never swift!!.
Long Haul will depend on destination, but outside USA (Probably autumn as well) most will be much later- 2022 or beyond.
So IMO if your French trip is Mid September or later you will probably be OK , before that it is likely to be doubtful.

Same for me. I will miss my May trip again this year and unlike last year, will not be looking to go later in the year. Don't want the uncertainty, hassle and potential cost.

On French News today, President Macron has announced the stages out of french lockdown, and stage 3 is that from June 9th they will be accepting foreign travellers that are in possession of a ‘health pass' , seems very optimistic when the daily cases are still over 30k and the deaths are still over 300 a day. Of course we don´t know how France will be classified by our Government under the traffic light system, but does give a bit of hope to anglers booked on a French trip from 9 June.

and of course, at present, there is still the matter of 10 days isolation when you return from your fishing week....so a week off work becomes 3 weeks off work How many can afford that?

Bet it will be.
Green, amber and red list likely to last rest of year.
France, based on current figures is well and truly in the amber category (and there is an argument that of all European countries it maybe should be classified lred).
France has absolutely no prospect of meeting the criterion for being classified Green by UK government by 9th June (which relates to infection rates AND levels of vaccination (both doses) in the relevant country) .
Having to quarantine 10 days (with the opportunity for early release after day 5) will be a feature of travelling (and therefore any fishing trip) to France until they have a sufficient level of vaccination and much lower infection rates.
In my opinion thay will be the Autumn.
