Angling Trust Confirm that Fishing can Continue

We are relieved to report that the Angling Trust have confirmed that fishing can continue during lockdown, as long as the rules are applied.

An update on their website to a report that they were lobbying Government reads:

”The Angling Trust is pleased that the government has recognised the value of allowing angling and other forms of outdoor recreation to continue – with members of your own household or with one other individual – through next month’s lockdown. It seems that tackle shops will still be able to operate a ‘click and collect’ service. So we are still fishing.

Whilst we need to see the precise details in the regulations laid before Parliament on Monday it is likely there will be impacts on certain areas of our sport and we will update everybody just as soon as we are able to do so. Thanks for your patience”

We will of course update you via this site as well. This is good news for those of you still fishing the Plym for Salmon. The Salmon season closes in the Plym at midnight on 15th December.

Tight lines and stay safe.
