The Scottish Government will make a statement tomorrow regarding the easing of the lockdown restrictions for certain outdoor sports including fishing, so the committee of the FAA have released the following statement.
We would ask that our members refrain from fishing until the date confirmed by the Government.
Anyone displaying symptoms of Covid 19 are requested to stay away from the riverbanks.
Anglers are asked to avoid touching rod racks, huts and benches and use hand sanitiser before and after fishing.
Anglers must maintain social distancing and stay at least 2m away from others and not gather in groups.
Anglers are asked not to share equipment or tackle.
Anglers are encouraged to use their vehicles rather than the huts and benches.
Following the advice from the Government that anglers should be from the local area and coupled with the fact that the Tackle Shop is to remain closed until we reach the next phase of the restrictions easing, we regret that we are unable to sell visitor permits at this present moment in time. We will keep this restriction under review and will issue updates when this can be relaxed.
Members that are still to collect their permits and wish to do so, are requested to contact the Secretary, Glyn Phillips preferably by email glynphil@hotmail.com or 07891 778111 and we will endeavour to look at ways in which permits can be issued.
