Currently a high daily infection rate of 30,000+ people and expected to increase.
Government advises us to continue to wash & hand sanitise our hands regularly, manage our own social distancing & wear face masks / coverings within enclosed crowded public spaces.
Basically, their asking us to take our own sensible precautions.
What will it mean for you the angler visiting Draycote, Eyebrook & Thornton Fisheries.
Draycote, Eyebrook & Thornton fisheries will continue to:
- Disinfecting, we will continue to disinfect boats & lifejackets after every session
- Hand sanitiser will be provided at the lodge entrance & booking in & out area, we recommend you carry your own hand sanitiser & use it as required.

- Customer Face Coverings, will be at their own discretion, but government advice is they should be worn if you’re in a crowded public space
- Pre-payment requested for boats & day permits, as it prevents queuing within the lodge.
- Pre-payment moves you through the booking in & out area & away out fishing quicker.
- Pre-payment allows the lodge staff more time to interact with the customers, offering fishing & tackle advice.
- Pontoon, fishery staff will still manage angler numbers on the pontoon and continue to issue you with your boat number.
- 3 People will be allowed per boat
- Competitions, it will become easier for organisers & the fishery staff to manage large groups, angling club, associations, competitions especially at the weigh in & presentation. However, be prepared at any competition / event to follow the fishery, competition, club organiser Covid guidelines for any event.
