Recreational Fishing Banned

Covid-19 restrictions say fishing is not daily exercise

The Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture has now confirmed that recreational fishing is not allowed under coronavirus restrictions.

In a post on social media, Government says this is in order for the public to avoid non-essential journeys.

It adds that recreational fishing is not recognised as a valid form of daily exercise.

The temporary ruling means the sale of all freshwater fishing licences has been stopped.
