Allow fishing during lockdown
Angling is a solitary sport with proven health benefits, especially for people with PTSD and any other type of mental illness.
SAD seasonal affective disorder is already rife during winter and not allowing this freedom to be outdoors is detrimental to the health of many.
Allow angling.
You allow cycling and jogging where they are breathing heavily over others they pass.
Refund everybody’s rod licence fees.
