Angling

I think it would b helpfull for mental health if angling ,golf ,archery clubs ect could open back up with safe measures.. I'm a carp angler and usually spend my free time away from the crowds self isolating on the bank ,I'm lucky if I see 5 people walk past in a day and there always more than a safe distance away.
I say "clubs" or associations because they all generally have rules to abide by and members that are serious about there sport so will b more likley to do there sport safely and responsibly.

Why the contribution is important

I feel its important for mental health and physical health ,hobbys are important

    Very much agree with this, with the current financial climate it would be wise to allow people to fish on the shore and on lochs and rivers

    I also think that allowing fishing with the appropriate social distancing measures in place would be a good idea on the basis that I am a fly angler and to fish this way you have to keep your distance from others to cast etc. I often fish from a boat too and therefore keep my distance from everyone. It’s a great hobby and pastime for many and a great escape from the stresses of life. If everyone adheres to strict guidelines and are sensible and very careful in their approach then I would certainly welcome the restrictions on angling being lifted.

    I concur that fishing will be a good thing to allow. It promotes mental well being and is on the whole a solitary activity.
