Right, so since having posted the news about Night Fishing we have been contacted by the Angling Trust who have offered further advice. The initial advice we were given put doubt in our mind that we were maybe going to open ourselves and members up to problems, and therefore for safety we decided to stop night fishing. It seems this was a mistake and the wrong decision.
We are pleased to announce that following further conversations with the Angling Trust we are now confident that Night Fishing is allowed and will therefore be implemented.
We are sorry for the confusion, but please understand we were only acting on the info given, and to make sure the Club and the Members were safe and following rules. We may have been over cautious, but this is the responsibility we have.
So, from the 29th March – Night Fishing is allowed. 24hrs max on all waters except for Sinah which is 48hr max stay. Please remember Soake and Brownwich are still closed. Please ensure you are following social distancing, stay safe and enjoy – we got there in the end.
Thank you for all your support.
