2hrs ago Angling Trust published an updated guide.

Simply put... yes we can.... night fishing included.

Advice seems to be:
Fish safely, locally and respect the rule of 2....

it has nothing to do with the AT, they cannot make that decision. They shouldn't put any statement out until its clarified by Government.

AT are deciphering government guidelines and interpreting it for normal folk.... so yes I agree. AT don't make the decision, but they have been the lobbying group getting fishing to be exempt from being locked down again.

nothing should be leaked out prior to government decision.

If you read the document, it doesn't really say much.

it basically says nothing has changed, no restrictions on travel or length of stay.

of which I hope is true, but they still shouldn't say a word until firm guidance from central government

AT have literally told me within the last few mins, and I quote

"we don't know for definite"

Parliament are debate this subject and others for the next few hours!

If you fish for carp you can go fishing. Same as perch,roach,Dace,tench etc. If you fish for bream you MUST stay at home

Old Bury Hill fishery also announced yesterday that they were probably shutting regardless of the final outcome of whether fishing allowed.

Yes is the answer and I've just got the rods out and put the kettle on... I'm here until Sunday, just seen a big fish roll at distance, quite close to one of my baited spots. Lovely sunset... so good to be fishing in lockdown

Cottington are closing their lakes after speaking to their local authority and were told that they are a leisure business and not essential
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
