The whoosh and splosh of fishing lines break the silence of a sunny morning on the banks of an English reservoir as dozens of anglers cast their rods in search of trout, and a few precious hours of escape from the coronavirus crisis.

“You obviously think about the whole COVID thing and how it’s affecting people ... But when you’re out here, it’s an escapism, isn’t it? It’s time to not think about other things. It’s time to just enjoy yourself if you can - you know, sort of stolen moments.” Since then, the phones haven’t stopped ringing for Will Barnard, fisheries manager at Thames Water which runs the 400-acre site. His team have been working flat out to set up a system that allows anglers to return safely to what, for many of them, is much more than just a hobby.“Angling is an opportunity for mindfulness without being too idle,” Barnard said, standing at the water’s edge.
