Angling Trust: We will fish again!

Great news for all anglers today that we will almost certainly be able to wet a line come Wednesday of this week (13th May). The news comes from the Angling Trust on their website which reads:

“The Angling Trust has given a warm welcome to the announcement today (May 10th) by Prime Minster Boris Johnson that recreational fishing looks set to resume in England on Wednesday, May 13th.

The Prime Minister announced the resumption of ‘unlimited outdoor sports’ from Wednesday providing they are conducted alone or with members of the same household and that social distancing rules are followed at all times.

A government source confirmed that “outdoor exercise includes angling, golf, water sports and tennis providing social distanced from Wednesday.”

As an Association we would like to reitterate the importance of following social distancing advice to keep the people safe and to protect our NHS.

We will update you with any specific details as they emerge.

Stay safe and tight lines!
