It seems that if you adhere to “social distancing”, do not have contact with anyone to or from the fishing location....this is ridiculous! Someone enlighten me as to how, fishing can potentially spread the virus! memtb

Don't feel alone - WA took this stance several days ago. "Fishing can spread thedisease."

They don't want their enforcement officers coming into contact with people.

memtb, I think the kind of "social distancing" needing for fishing is what I used to see in Delaware and Maryland . Most of the bridges and river banks were usually occupied by "darkies" shoulder to shoulder. Maybe that's what the regulation is about.

Bubba is going to do the right thing and social distance by going fishing.
On the way, but making a stop for gas and a can of chew. Next stop is for bait. And the liquor for a 6 pack of Bud.
THAT is why. People are not taking it seriously.

Southern Idaho has quite a few reservoirs on BLM land. While campgrounds are closed, we're still free to use public land for recreation. There's lots of good fishing in those waters.

Utah closed state parks, which includes almost all our lakes, except that you can go to a park in your own county. The assumed reason is to prevent most in-state travel, but it sure limits our fishing access. My favorite lake has two marinas; the south one is on a county line, so I can launch there - but not at the north marina, which is inside the next county. Nutso? You betcha.
There are no similar restrictions on golf, paradoxically.

Well it seems that some fishermen that were over protective of their favorite fishing hole were taking advantage of the pandemic, & if their favorite spot got too crowded they would start coughing, sneezing, etc. Other fishermen fearing the worst would leave.
This, crying wolf thing got so bad that officials are unable to tell who had the virus & who didn't. So before this got out of hand, they decided to postpone all fishing until a later date.

They don't want their enforcement officers coming into contact with people. Which makes it a great time...to go fishing. With a 12 pack even.

Virginia closed all State Parks and campgrounds[private included]. The campground closure was apparently done to keep the folks from NY,NJ,Conn from stopping here after Florida and Georgia started turning them around.
