Following the Prime Minister’s announcements about the need for social distancing as part of the coronavirus response efforts, I’m sure many of our members will be concerned about how this might affect fishing in the coming months.

The Wilshire Fishery Association was founded for the benefit of all who fish our rivers. Our role at this challenging time will be to do all we can to help our members so that they can continue to spend time on our rivers, while still observing social distancing measures. And while it might not be possible to access all rivers, many of the clubs and owners are advising us that they will be open for business, perhaps with local restrictions in some areas to help keep you safe.

As always, we want to thank you for all you do to care for the rivers that help unite and sustain us. Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated.

The health and wellbeing of our stakeholders, members, partners and of course our colleagues is our priority in these exceptional times. We are working to continue our support to our members as best we can.

Please continue to contact us by email or as necessary by post.

Our message is, PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH, and let us know if you have any concerns.
