Allow overnight fishing during lockdown.

What the petition asks

Allow night fishing during lockdown. Night fishing is safer for anglers as not many night fish. And nobody is around at night.
We all are doing our part to keep the country going but are also trying to live our lives as we should. Anglers accross the UK were elated when the angling trust fought for us to stay on the bank and keep us fishing.
Afterall 9 times out of 10 its one man and a fishing rod sat by a lake.
A fair few anglers rely on night fishing to get out. Spend some time alone in there own little safe haven. We want night fishing back!
Night fishing is safer for anglers! We fish alone!
