Marine Scotland have issued guidance for Anglers for the recent lockdown.
Angling is permissible provided this is within a single household group, or the group contains no more than 2 people from 2 different households. Children under the age of 12 from these households do not count towards this number.
You can travel for local outdoor sport or exercise such as angling but must stay within the more general requirements with regard to travel and ensure that you abide by the rules on meeting other households. In general, stay as close to home as possible – within your local authority, or no more than 5 miles from the boundary – and stay away from crowded places.
Individuals should continue to follow the five principles behind the Scottish Government’s FACTS campaign:
F – wear a Face covering
A – Avoid crowded places
C – Clean hands and surfaces regularly
T – stay Two metre distance away from other people
S – Self-isolate and book a test if you have COVID-19 symptoms (new continuous cough, fever or loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste)
