It is with relief, that the Angling Trust have worked hard and can now confirm that Angling is allowed again. This comes with some conditions:
– This is a strictly limited resumption of LOCAL fishing and very different to how we have been allowed to operate since May.
– We are in a National Lockdown and this must be respected. The law requires a ‘reasonable excuse’ to leave your home or penalties will apply.
– The government has recognised that fishing can be seen as exercise, which is expressly permitted under the lockdown rules, although outdoor recreation is not.
– Organised sporting gatherings are prohibited so no match fishing.
– The exercise is limited to once a day so no overnight fishing whatsoever.
– To remain within the law you should follow the government’s guidance, and only fish locally within the district where you live. If you have no local fishing available then you will have to take your daily exercise in other ways.
Night fishing is not allowed, so please ensure you follow the guidance above. Further info can be found on the Angling Trust website.
Fishing allowed Sunrise to Sunset only.
No Day Tickets, Exchange Books or Guest Tickets are available.
Therefore, PDAS is pleased to announce our waters will reopen tomorrow (8th Jan 2021) at Sunrise, the only exception is Brownwich which will at reopen sunrise on Saturday 9th for booked members.
Members are required to follow the government rulings, all COVID safety rules and Social distancing must be strictly adhered to.
Please follow the rules and stay safe.
