Coronavirus Code of Conduct for Fishermen
These coronavirus rules are to help ensure that not only you, but also other fishermen, Novar Estate employees and walkers, are protected as far as possible.

• Social Distancing. Always keep at least 2 metres away from ALL other people on the river (unless in your own household). In particular, do not shake hands with anyone.

• Do not share cars, huts, tackle, nets, crockery, food etc with anyone else (unless in your own household).

• Please do not expect anyone else to set up your equipment or drive you round the beat.

• Do not hand any tip directly to the ghillie. Leave it in a mutually agreed place.

• Bring your own food and drink and do not share.

• Bring your own hand sanitiser and wipes and use regularly during the day. Wash your hands regularly wherever possible.

 

• Wear gloves when touching doors, gates, styles, fences, or any equipment that is not your own.

In addition, you must always use your own common sense to reduce the risk of cross infection and do not come to the river if you or anyone with whom you have had contact has signs consistent with covid-19 infection.
