They have also been keen to emphasise that they are open for business during the current unpleasantness. So I phoned and asked them to suggest the nearest Trust fishery I might visit and report same to a waiting world. They phoned back the next day. There were none. Not a single fishery could I fish.
Some fishing is open.
They are open for boat fishing only. Perhaps this is the moment belly-boaters have been waiting for. Now might be the time for a judicious phone call to a small lake which has no boats and doesn't wish to be seen to encourage blokes with muddy boots tramping round the edge but wants a bit of income in these lean times. There is certainly one gleam of silver. Who can blame them.
