I bit of good news is that the Angling Trust have confirmed that Match Fishing is to be allowed from 29th March. From their website
- “Match fishing will be enabled as an organised outdoor sport from March 29th. Organised outdoor sports will not be subject to the gatherings limits, but should be compliant with guidance issued by national governing bodies to ensure appropriate steps, including risk assessments, are taken to make it Covid secure in line with the law. At this stage, these gatherings must only include participants – not spectators.”
I have held off publishing a Match List because of Covid restrictions but once the new relaxations have been confirmed I will set out our plans for those matches confirmed. Not all venues have outlined their rules, ie Greenwood Pools have not confirmed the reintroduction of match fishing.
It is a slow process but hopefully a step on the return to normality.
Here is a link to the Angling Trust Guide to fishing after 29th March.
