Hi Geoff
In answer to your question, when fish are ill they need rest, fishing a water that has the disease will only stress the fish more. Also there may be a chance that you pass the infection on to other waters that you may fish at a later date.
My personal advise is NO do not fish while it is infested. Please see statement from EA below.
The Environment Agency does not have the powers to close down fisheries infected by the virus, they have advised all infected premises to cease angling and add their own biosecurity measures to ensure that the disease is contained
