As a guide or ghillie when with
clients you are in a working environment and therefore
government guidance on workplace safety should be observed
at all times.
Every guide will need to make
their own decision as to whether they are able to offer the
level of service and experience their clients would expect
under current guidelines – for those who decide to offer
services we would advise the following points are adhered
to:
- Guides/ Ghillies/
Instructors must not make physical contact with clients
and at all time maintain social distancing
guidance.
- A dummy rod or set up must
be used to explain techniques from a safe distance, no
direct contact with client or equipment.
- No sharing of cars,
equipment or physical contact of any sort.
- Care should be taken to
ensure that the same person throughout the day ties all
knots, lands all fish and handles their own equipment
only.
- 1 client to 1 guide ratio
unless clients are members of the same
household.
- Weighing and photographing
of fish should be carried out within social distancing
guidelines.
- All payments should be made
electronically.
Based on the guidelines available:
I will also carry Hand Sanitiser and Anti-bacterial wipes.
Any equipment used by clients will be cleaned before and
after the session. Disposable gloves and face masks can be
used if requested/necessary.
I will carry my own rod and any advice will be
demonstrated from a safe distance.
PLEASE NOTE:
All electronic payments for the session must be paid
in advance of the day.
These are difficult times for all, but I will
continue to do my utmost to ensure that you have an
enjoyable day on the water and you learn as much as possible
to enhance your enjoyment of our great sport. I would just
ask that you please follow the GOVERNMENT ADVICE
and the ADVICE FOR FRESHWATER
ANGLERS on the Angling trust website.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO DISCUSS A BOOKING,
OPTIONS FOR THE DAY AND NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS.
Fly fishing for Rainbow trout on local stocked waters is also
provided.
An outing on one of our beautiful rivers or lakes is a
personalised fishing experience, provided by a fully qualified
professional fly fishing guide and instructor with over 45
years experience, based in Cumbria in the United Kingdom. Anglers
of all abilities are catered for: a day on one of our Eden
rivers or Lake District waters will be tailored to suit your
requirements.
Fishing bookings, licences and loan of tackle can all be
organised for the visiting angler.
