You were opposed to stopping fishing, and I guess this disposes you to deride any fishery closures as 'ridiculous' and 'a joke'.
The reasons for stopping, despite the fact that angling MAY be a solitary, social-distanced activity, don't need re-explaining: avoiding non-essential journeys, avoiding increased contacts at shops and petrol stations, avoiding extra movements out of towns and cities to waters, avoiding contacts at fishery facilities, avoiding alienating the public and undermining the lockdown by claiming our hobby exceptional and exempt etc etc.
It's hardly surprising a day-ticket commercial fishery standing out as open amid a general closure should come under pressure from local residents to do as everywhere else. The fishery - do you know the area?-
is out in the country on the edge of a village attracting its anglers from three towns - Mold, Wrexham and Chester - who wouldn't otherwise be converging on a small village in the hills and clustering around a small lake.
You can argue we should have just carried on, but starting fishing again is not the same thing as never stopping. Before the numbers of afflicted and dead soared past some of the experts' worst estimates, a remarkably casual attitude to the virus was widespread. A Yougov survey on March 5th - 21,000 people across 10 countries - shows the UK was last when it came to being bothered about coronavirus and taking basic precautions. We can hope that re-starting angling, whenever it happens, will see us all a bit better informed about social-distancing etc and a bit more receptive to following whatever new conditions/rules are in place to protect us all, wise and foolish alike.
