Why is there a poll?

You can go fishing now within 5km of your home, for 2 hours.

Cant even fish the drains...it says in the latest DHHS guidelines that you cant go fishing for the purpose of exercise (page 14)

I guess that's what I get for taking advice from someone on the phone instead of via a primary source.

You are correct, I apologise.
