Keep to the 72 hour night maximum fishing limit – do less nights and give other anglers a chance to fish.

Do not reserve swims for other anglers.

Use antibac wipes before and after using club toilets – night anglers preferably use your own facilities.

Anyone displaying symptoms of COVID-19 or who shares a household with any individual displaying symptoms should not go fishing and continue to follow Government advice on isolation.
