Important Notice

We are currently open in a limited manner for local journeys only, there are no clear guidelines as to what constitutes a local journey, but no one should expect to be able to drive past one fishery to take their daily outdoor exercise at a more desirable location.

However, from 29th March 2021, it is proposed that the “Stay at Home” rule will end and people will be able to travel to fishing venues within the Government guidelines.

Accordingly, Sweethope Fly Fishery will be reopening, subject to the following terms and conditions:-

1. Sessions should be booked in advance either by telephone or email.
2. If payment needs to be made in advance this can be facilitated by the card machine at the venue by a telephone payment.
3. Payment should be by card if possible.
4. All buildings except toilets will remain shut until there is any change in Government guidelines.
5. A safe distance of 2 metres should be maintained at all times between anglers and between anglers and staff.
6. Face coverings should be worn by staff and by anglers while making payment/interacting at fishery office.
7. Boats may be used by a maximum of 2 persons.  Beware social distancing!
8. Boats and shared equipment to be regularly disinfected and cleaned by staff and by anglers.

We will be available to take questions and advise by phone, email, Facebook or Instagram.  It should be noted that this proposal may change, in the event of Government guidelines changing, so anyone interested in coming to Sweethope should monitor our website.
