Lockdown Eased – Fishing Restarted

With the start of phase 1 of the move from lockdown announced today the Scottish Government has lifted the restriction on fishing.

Fishing can re- start from Friday 29th May subject to confirmation from the fishery owner, manager or club/association.  Permission is still required to fish and all anglers should ensure they have a valid permit AND the fishery is open.

Please see guidance on fishing during this phase – there are still restrictions on travel and distancing and these must be followed to prevent a second spike and further lockdowns which might disrupt fishing during the autumn.

To find out more information on your local fishery, please check out Fishing around the Forth’s online hub and social channels. www.fishforth.org

Enjoy your fishing – fish safe – support your local fishery
