General Fishing Back On!

[Mike]

Well, it looks like our leader is going to allow extra travel flexibility from tomorrow. Stay Home changes to Stay Local and we can travel up to five miles (in populated areas) and a bit further in rural areas. Travel includes travel for exercise and so fishing!

Where are you heading to first?

I think I'll be heading to my local fishery for a bit of feeder fishing next week, which is within the local boundary.

Have to get more info on travelling, if ok I will go to the trout lakes and wet some flies. Although it is 15 miles away so need proof that it will be ok.

Just thinking,if you live in a rural village ontop of a mountain would they not say you don't need to travel to exercise by the sea?? With countryside around to exercise in??? Tightlines everyone!

Even a rural village in the countryside without mountains, miles from a nearest town.

Last time they had a five mile rule in place for everything from exercise to essential shopping Which worked perfectly fine in Cardiff but maybe not so in the rest of Wales, where 5 miles might get you to another field

They've tried to be a bit more flexible this time for the rural areas. Which is nice, as Drakeford seems only concerned with what happens in Cardiff, Swansea and Newport usually.

Wonder what our numbnuts ministers will say about easing of the current lockdown soon in England.

Mike , I live by the sea and I can tell you that too many people have been ignoring all the rules regarding stay at home and don't drive to exercise etc. " Stay Local " is just going to open up another bag of worms for the poor old police force to sort out .

It has been the same here I would imagine. Apparently the roads locally have been 60% busier than they were during Lockdown One.

I've stayed put, even though legally I could go fishing outside of walking/local area (as I work in angling and content creation is exempt) I felt it would be wrong to do so. So I've got on with all the clerical work this past three months ready for when things open up again.

Just got this off FB

How far is local is again the question ???
"The rule of thumb is that you should think of local as a five-mile radius from where you live but if you live in a valleys community or a rural area you can exercise your judgement and go a little bit further," Mr Drakeford said.
As I've said vague and indecisive.

Is it just the English or is it anyone who’s not Welsh ?

I think from England is a better way to explain it. Not sure how he's going to enforce it though . Checkpoints on every road that crosses the border is not possible .
But people in England cannot go on holiday elsewhere in the UK until 12 April at the earliest.

There are many small villages around my area that will report illegal immigrants from across the border. Local hospitals are rammed without covid so they are looking after their own. 90% of locals don't benefit from holiday makers and second home folk so there is a lot of resentment for law breakers.

Sorry, should have made a bit clearer.

Householders from England will not be able to travel into Wales.

I think to enforce the police will just do as now, many are being caught.

They all know the rules.

What about any other country ?

For Example?


cant answer you if they travel by boat or plane into Wales!
But if they travel through England then they have to keep to the English rules for travel produced by Mad Boris.
