Cheers. Looks like you can get around the exam if you have a valid UK fishing license. So it's just a matter of applying for it when there snd waiting a day. Well thats what I think. Anyone done the same?

Evening all

I'm off to Spain week Sunday on the overnight ferry to Santander. Not primarily a fishing trip, and won't have much gear with me, but enough to do a few sessions. Never been to northern Spain before, but I quite fancy looking at public lakes and a bit an adventure. Anyone got any experience in this area? I'll have a van so can get about and sleep in back if need be.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Also, anyone know if the Spanish version of the carte de peche is easy to get once there? I don't think you can do it online, but might be wrong

I had a four week French trip planned (not all fishing) in mid June.

Was thinking I could instead get the ferry to Spain, do two weeks there, get another CV test, then pop over border to france for two weeks. Before heading home mid July and quarantining on return (if still amber). I might be wrong, but I don't think this would mean quarantining when going from Spain to France?

Thanks. That's good to know.

There's currently a 9pm curfew, moving to 11pm on 9th June. Assume that rules out night fishing public lakes until July.

Great write up. Gives me some confidence.

Never thought I'd be trying to smuggle bait into Europe

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a stink bag that fits a black ops landing net? With it being small the usual stink bags are too big. Thanks

I'd happily pay for a lodge on a lake if I could find anywhere available. Pretty much the first time I've been off without kid since March! Can't wait to get out in the rain and forgot about 2020!

Cheers. Didn't realise how close it was to the M25. I'm looking for a peaceful few nights, so will give it a miss. Thorny weir / The Mets looks an option.
