It depends where you are Colin, in Wales you can only go fishing if you can walk to the venue. In England you can go fishing as part of your exercise regime, once a day and no overnight fishing. However according to the guidance you should not leave your local area to go fishing. Nobody has defined "local area" and you should not be fined if you are stopped en route, but clearly you will get a warning if the police think you have strayed and told to go home. The Angling Trust are advising members not to undermine the Government concession by flouting the intention of the lockdown. Leaves me in a quandary as my nearest trout fishery is 12 miles away, I'm going to let things settle down before I decide whether to venture out.
