What if restrictions affect my fishing?
If you no longer wish to fish because of travel or other restrictions, you will not necessarily receive a refund, as Fisheries are only obliged to, if they themselves are cancelling the fishing, or altering what was booked by you. We suggest you consider a travel insurance of which there are now a number of annual packages around.
However many fisheries/beats will offer you a voluntary refund or another date.
If the fishery can't help you, we ourselves can still help by trying to relet your fishing for you.
Please contact us via the
help centre if you are affected.
