tinfoilhat   11 #1 Posted March 23, 2020 So.....are we allowed? We're always a few metres apart I'm even in tight corner pegs. You give your money to the bailiff and not to talk anyone for the rest of the day (and that's a result in my book).  Anybody still fishing?

charliewag   19 #5 Posted March 24, 2020 I fished both Sat and Sun. The pegs are at least 10 yards apart so I can't see a problem. There were only six of us on Sat but Sun was a little busier. This is a 35 peg fishery. Another fishery where i'm a member has three lakes so plenty of room for anglers who wish for some space. I did hear that at Lindholme the fishery owners did the match draw, putting anglers names in one box and peg numbers in another which is a good idea.

charliewag   19 #7 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) My local fishery closed earlier this week. It was due to close on the 31st for a month in any case for maintenance and permit renewal. I don't want to risk travelling further afield in case I get pulled up for unnecessary travel.

Pkingy   10 #8 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I know this is against the rules. But if I got in my car in the garage and drove 18mls to the fishing lakes which has locked gated access. Its a private fishery and the membership is pretty low so I will be half a mile away from anyone else. I will drive back home and put the car back in the garage. How could I be more isolated?

charliewag   19 #10 Posted April 3, 2020 The other fishery of which i'm a member is also closed. Looks like i'll have to get a few worms and sneak onto the river which is only 1/2 a mile from my house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Pkingy   10 #11 Posted April 3, 2020  I didn't say I was going to do it. Just showing how unfair the rules are. Been out 3 times today shopping for disabled tenants been in contact with more people that I ever would fishing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tinfoilhat   11 #12 Posted April 3, 2020 I can walk to a couple of fisheries and a river, and I might yet when I feel a bit better. The fishery owner will be concerned about liability- and rightly so. But, I would be socially distant and it's going to aid my mental health. But after the inevitable bun fight this weekend the police will clamping down left and right I suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
