I would be more understanding if this was limited crowded salmon charter boats and the like....
But the average guy tossing a line in a stream?
Good lord. Yeah. That’s pretty ridiculous. Hope that doesn’t spread north. How are you gonna get all those guys on the Kenai or Russian to maintain their 6 feet? 
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Next will be sitting alone in ones own home.
How about simple boating? Just keep ones line out of the water.
Are those small highway turn off ranches closed in Nevada?
Absolute BS
If the wind lets up, I'll be sitting in the middle of an alfalfa pivot tomorrow airing out ground squirrels.
Could be the list would be shorter if the powers that be would simply tell us what we can do.

If fishing is suspended no reason to pay any fish cops. Send WDFW Director Kelly Susewind home without pay. And I want a rebate on my fishing license. Fishing suspension would be lifted in 24 hours.

Not saying it's right, but here is WDFW's reasoning. Fishery managers have reported that some anglers have been seen crowding banks as concerns over coronavirus have continued.
“We’ve seen an uptick in outdoor recreation at some locations in recent weeks as people have looked for ways to get outside,” said WDFW Fish Program Director Kelly Cunningham. “We’ve had reports of crowded boat ramps and busy fishing on some rivers, which runs counter to the governor’s direction to stay home and practice social distancing.”
In addition, many salmon and steelhead fisheries require regular monitoring under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which includes conducting angler interviews at access sites surrounding the state’s marine waters. The on-site, face-to-face nature of angler interviews puts people at potential risk of transmitting the coronavirus. Without such monitoring, these recreational fisheries must close to ensure ESA protections. They specifically said that: Hunting seasons currently underway are not impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions at this time. However, please be aware that significant travel is not advised.

What part of the fishing trip creates additional exposure?
None of it. It's all about seeing how much control they can take, and all they care about is your submission.

They specifically said that: Hunting seasons currently underway are not impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions at this time. However, please be aware that significant travel is not advised. Mr T, Long time no talk online, hope all is going well up there in the Rock. Are you folks shut down at work and doing the job at home thingy? Stay safe. When I first saw the title of the thread, the protection of their angler contact folks. I'm not saying it's right, and I'd likely just break the rule myself if something nearby was open, uncrowded, and the fish were biting. But, can you imagine the uproar if one or more of their folks caught this virus and it could be shown they contacted a person fishing with the disease? Another uproar, someone said they could see shutting down the salmon charters because of a crowded situation on the boats. Wow, sure let Joe Schmo fish from the bank but take money out of the recreational fishing charter fleets wallets. There'd be some serious lobbying in the next session of the Legislature by the boat owners for sure. Biggest problem is folks don't want to take responsibility and fish apart from others. I've seen the combat fishing in some places, someone on page one got it right. Lines get crossed, folks get uppity, next thing they're rollin' around in the mud, then their buddies join in. hard to make a rule allowing someone to put their little boat out and go out with their wife or kid, and have that rule stop crowds fishing on the bank like a pack of mongrels. Good luck WA, I foresee silly Gavin here trying, and likely doing, the same thing. Our trout opener is coming up, it would suck, but it may not stop me. You WA folks, steelhead fishing should be going on now right? let's hope there's a benefit in more spawning escapement, less mortality of "native" fish, and maybe the hatcheries will give away excess returns to you license holder. Going to be a bummer if this lasts into shad season though. All them folks lined up below John Day will be pissed. Geno

Well, used too watch hockey, I meant. 😎 Fugg, you had to go and remind me. I have the DVR set to "record series" for the Sharks pre game shows. I guess one was scheduled last night or something, saw it in the lineup, hoping they at least had some HOCKEY news or something. .........HA, some sorta scheidt about Formula One racing or such. Stop reminding me that my beloved HOCKEY is not being played now, not even college games, International, or anything. I'm about to resort to watching old games over again that are still on the DVR. I'm Jonesing here bro. I need a fix! GEno
