The single most important action you can take to fight coronavirus and to save lives is to stay at home.

Recreational angling as a form of exercise is permitted in accordance with government guidelines.

All clubs operating under the jurisdiction of the Irish Government are subject to Level 5 of the NCFFI Living with Covid19 Plan –

In brief this means we fish only on an individual basis within 5km of our home. We can however meet with one other household when taking exercise outdoors.

Competition and training including the coaching of children is prohibited.

Updated Information for Clubs in Northern Ireland

November 10, 2020/in covid19 recovery/by NCFFI pro

The NCFFI requested further advice relating to restrictions around 15 persons ‘gathering for a common purpose’ and Sport NI have provided further clarification that will enable clubs in Northern Ireland to run larger outdoor events providing they are organised in stages.

The Department has confirmed;

“It is permissible to hold outdoor events that are organised in stages, provided there are no more than 15 people present for each session of the event. This could be achieved by event organisers working in timed slots, and putting in place measures to ensure more than 15 people are not gathering before or after the events. All relevant public health guidance should be followed.”
