River and loch fishing should be permitted. I understand not wanting to open trout fisheries which can attract larger numbers, but river and loch fishing is normally an isolated activity.
I normally spend many days fishing the river Don in Aberdeenshire and barely see anyone in the distance, let alone up close. We are sensible people and know we still have to keep a safe distance.
But why on earth are cyclists allowed to cycle across the countryside which I regularly see since the lockdown, yet I can’t fish on my own?
Fishing is my only hobby, however I am also arguing on behalf of other isolated sporting activities.

Why the contribution is important
Fishing and other sporting activities are important not only for physical but also mental health. It’s safe and far safer than cycling on public country roads which is currently permitted under the lockdown.
