Coarse Fishing

Pounds..don't do metric......

Really itching to go fishing, but due to the virus and having to isolate I don't know when !!

Hostahousey, my OH has been busy sending out local club licences to people who want to start angling again. Lots of them have been contacting him via the club web site, it's all been done at a distance so most pay by paypal and OH sends out the licences and details. Some started off last week but there are a few rules to keep you safe, the recommended distance is 15 metres apart. Hope you can get out soon and enjoy your hobby.

Thanks for that info........15 mtrs is a long way apart Why?

We wondered that too, maybe it gives some the room to spread their kit out safely? One of our local ponds is limiting numbers to prevent people being too close. 

The government's advice is  2mtr  so why 15mtrs  for fishing when the pegs are segregated anyway and usually over 2mtrs apart. Has Golf got the 15mtr ruling as well? Seems funny to me ,I think whoever stated this has got a little mixed up.

Anyone else heard of this 15mtr distancing ?

Been a couple of times .Yesterday bagged up with some good Bream, haven't seen anyone social distancing at 15 mtrs. All sticking to the 2mtr rule.

Brue ,...Had an email from Environment Agency stated the 15mtr rule for matches only. 2mtr rule for pleasure fishing. So why they didn't make it clear weeks ago .

OH is having a morning on the river, just on his own, hoping it wouldn't be too busy! 🐡
