In view of the recent anouncement by the Health Minister we need to ensure your visits to the two lakes are safe for all concerned at this time.
If you are self-isolating – whether it be because you are showing symptoms, someone in your household is showing symptoms or you are quarantined after returning from abroad then you must NOT attend the fisheries unless you comply with the Goverment Guidelines. If you are also living with someone who is shielding then again, you must not attend.
Please be aware that the government has changed the guidelines and you must self isolate for 10 days now from when symptoms start. It is 14 days if someone else in your household becomes unwell.
This applies for this Sunday when we re-start our Club Matches with a Pit & River Competition at Ongar No 1. If you are unwell with COVID symptoms, then you must not attend the match, even if you feel well enough to fish! We will take down the match attendees names for track and trace purposes. If after the match, someone becomes ill within 7 days with COVID symptoms, please ring Terry Commer Jnr on 07912 869651 so he can inform everyone who attends the match. Any questions please call Terry.
As the Club Matches (Pit & River plus OAP) are re-starting please consult your Fixture List or look them up on this website. If a Club Match is being held the fishery venue will be closed to those not fishing the Match.
As mentioned above the matches commence this Sunday 2nd August at Ongar No 1.
These COVID-19 guidelines also apply to pleasure fishing on our waters. Please stay away from the Fisheries if you are unwell with COVID-19 symptoms or feel if you could put someone else at risk. Please continually consult the Goverment Guidelines on COVID-19.
