The Angling Trust has advised that "angling is deemed a permissible form of ‘outdoor recreation’, and a lawful reason to leave home. It can take place, without time limits, within the provision allowing people “to visit a public outdoor space for the purposes of open air recreation”. Full details of the Angling Trust Guidance can be found here: https://anglingtrust.net/covid-19/
We suggest that members make themselves familiar with this guidance.
