Coronavirus Update.

The announcement concerning the use of the fishery for 48 hours was only intended for anglers fishing in the carp lakes – for Poysers and the Ully Gully normal rules apply – come and go as you wish – all pegs are more than 3 metres apart so no need for additional distancing.

It is intended that we only have representatives there at the start of the first day to ensure smooth transition of “no anglers” to a significant number of anglers within a short period of time.

In addition always ensure that you comply with the rules of social distancing- any non compliance of this rule will result in you being told to leave the site whichever area of the complex or fishery you use.

Hi Alan.
I dont want to be the one who starts asking a lot of silly questions, but I have one querie….
My job doesnt allow me to do 48hr sessions some weeks as I’m a “front line keyworker” working shifts. I tend to pop down as and when for a few hours here and there on the premium waters. What’s the stance on this please?

[Tracey Lacey]

The basis for the 48 hour limit is intended as an initial approach to manage a potential demand exceeding supply of available pegs on the lakes. By allowing on 48 hours sessions maximum this would allow all anglers to have an opportunity over a period to fish, as opposed to some anglers occupying pegs for 4 or 5 continuous days.

I think it will not be long before we get back to normal demand for pegs and the need for these restrictions will no longer be necessary

That’s all totally understandable thanks. I just wandered if I went for a couple of hours one evening, when would I be allowed back? Is it 96hrs later? I just want to make sure that I’m not breaking any rules at all.

The 48 hour limit and 96 hour return is totally focussed on the Carp Lakes – come and go as often as you like on the Poysers Pond and the Ully Gully

They are the only lakes I go on, the carp / premium waters. If I go for a couple of hours one evening, do I then have to wait 96hrs?

The reason i note the terms on the Poysers pond application is because this “thread” is on the Poysers pond item on the Forum – we will review for the other lakes when we fully understand the pressure on those lakes – at present it seems all is going very well with less than anticipated pressure. Will update later today when we know more.
