Can't see the AT successfully lobbying for a start before the 29th just for night fishing on this occasion
In the case of match fishing....it states that on the 29th, "Formally organised outdoor sports can also restart"....so that is clear...............night fishing could even have to wait until 12th April if they class it as a "staycation"....

I doubt 22 miles would be ‘local’ 🙄

29th March, hmmm... I think that'll be the green light to travel further than 'local', what ever the feck that means - I've been regularly fishing a water that's 25 to 30 minutes drive (22 miles), with no issues what so ever. I'll hedge my bets on the 29th April for night fishing. I think it'll hinge on this milestone ... UK "staycations" away from home permitted, with self-contained accommodation able to reopen for use by members of the same household. Personally, Id like to see no night fishing remain all year, such a breath of fresh air without the time bandits camping out in the best swims for weeks on end... anyway, at least I will be able to get a hair cut before I go

I’m not clever enough to to add screen grabs but I took one from their post that said
‘ you can fish right through the night if you want to . As long as you are fishing not just sleeping in a bivvy ‘
When the night fishing thing first got asked

Unfortunately they were the words of a Mr Salter. Tbf this whole thing is governed by the people now. The government have to preempt what the people are going to do, so they dont look like they are losing control

Fair enough, but the wording here is open to interpretation. If you are no longer legally required to stay at home, then no laws are being broken if you do.
Travel should be minimised. So, what's the difference between going fishing for the day or going for a couple of days? It's still 2 journeys.
Unless the parameters are clear and framed legally, people will interpret these restrictions, with some validity. Which is why Baw-Jaws made such a mess of things not once, but 3 times, now.

Some people seem unable to draw a line between fishing at night and overnight fishing.
I had a bit of confrontation last night, I had a late start this morning so finally found time to get a few hours down the river, left home around 9, ten minute walk to the river, one rod+centrepin, no chair, no brolly..
Apparently that's not allowed

I agree you would think this was pretty straight forward, nope ! Just tried to rearrange 2 sessions I’ve got booked for the 17th of March for 48hrs and the 24th of March for 48hrs (been booked since December) neither are willing to rebook yet because they reckon it will change by then and apparently the angling trust are pushing for us to be allowed sooner 🤷♀️ Then after the 29th of March he said (stay local) Got a 4 day session booked for the 6th of April but is about 3 hours away that lake is also saying they won’t re book yet till they no whats going to be classed as local.
3 different lakes all saying the same thing, are angling trust telling them something else that we don’t no?

I think we are being pessimistic thinking April 12th. Fishing is seen as exercise and good for mental wellbeing. We could go fishing even when golf was banned.
My money is on March 29th.
My first non-syndicate paid session is the 13th April, wow, I could be the first doing nights, and bagging up.

there lays an issue and the AT wording was wrong, albeit people picked the bones out of it purely to look for a loop hole
camping is fishing at night, we hardly sit there all night with a float rod in hand

I'm just trying to find a positive to stop all the whinging...
I'd say if camping overnight is going to be allowed from that date, then it's a fair bet to say there'll be no obstacles for night fishing - and no need for the AT to try and circumvent rules...
if it's sooner then fair enough, but I can't see it being later given that statement

That was my argument before in another thread, the AT in the November lockdown said that fishing overnight was ok, because you wasnt camping.
