Fishery Operational Arrangements - Covid-19

Following the Scottish Government's announcement dated 28 May 2020 relaxing some Lockdown restrictions, Dunlichity Trout Fishery will reopen with effect from Friday 29 May.
We take the ongoing situation regarding Covid-19 very seriously and we would like all our visitors to do the same.
We consider the risk to anglers to be minimal once they are out fishing. However, there are precautions that we will all need to take:
- Please do not bring children or non-fishing guests to the Fishery with you. The Fishery is restricted to anglers only.
- The Bothy will be closed until further notice. The toilet is also currently unavailable whilst essential repairs are carried out to the Bothy. The outside sink is also unavailable.
- Do not share fishing equipment. It is also advisable to bring something with you to place on the peg seats. During this time, there will be no rental equipment available.
- For safety reasons, we have ceased the provision of complimentary tea, coffee and juices. Please bring your own refreshments with you.
- Please do not visit the Fishery if you have any of the symptoms associated with Covid-19 - stay at home until you are well.
- We do not have facilities for cashless payments, so we would be grateful if you could bring the correct money with you. Familiarise yourself with the revised ticket prices. A link to the prices is at the bottom of this page.
- We are not introducing a booking system and fishing will be on a first come, first served basis. We are limiting the number of anglers on the Lochans at any time to a maximum of 25. Please be aware in the unlikely situation where we have people waiting to fish, we will be more diligent in enforcing ticket start and finish times.
- Use the Fishery Car Park. If it becomes too congested to appropriately conduct self-distancing, then feel free to park at the House.
- Please respect distancing on the banks ("2 metre personal exclusion zone").

We sincerely believe that fly fishing can continue to operate safely providing everyone shows common sense and follows the basic guidelines outlined above. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who does not respect our arrangements.
We appreciate that this is an unprecedented situation and that for the coming period our lives will be disrupted but please be sensible, respect others and enjoy fly fishing at Dunlichity safely.

Fishery Update
We are getting lots of enquiries regarding when the Fishery will reopen.
The Scottish Government has indicated that fishing can recommence providing that there has not been a deterioration of Covid-19 situation in Scotland, and will give a further update in the Government Briefing on Thursday. During the Briefing, we anticipate that we will be advised when we can legally open. Once we receive this information, we will decide on opening plans and publish them on this Blog, together with any revised practical arrangements on Thursday afternoon.
