PRESS RELEASE

 

As from Tuesday, 10 April, all authorised Association river fisheries are open for salmon, trout and eel fishing, subject to Environment Agency Bye-Laws and the guidelines laid down by the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food, which are as follows:-

 

The key message for the general public is to avoid all contact with susceptible livestock and not to go onto farm premises or cross land where livestock are or may be kept.

 

What you should not do

· Do not go near cattle, sheep, pigs or deer, wherever you are, and never feed farm animals. If you find yourself near these animals, walk away from them.

· Do not go on farmland which has been or is being used by livestock.

· Do not leave any waste food in open countryside or on farmland.

· Do not use footpaths that are closed. Particularly in areas close to infected farms, local authorities may have closed footpaths.

You must obey these closures.
