Is there any specific reason to not allow riding your boat for fishing as long as distancing rules are followed.
Is it that there is a higher risk of transmission / contamination at the boat ramps? Wouldn't enforcing distancing rules at the room and having a person continuously disinfecting contact surfaces minimize this risk?
I’m pretty sure most ramps will stay open. What you might see is some places closing at night. I think you could see park rangers and such patrol and watch ramps for gatherings but I don’t see lakes closing unless it’s a special situation and it’s tied with a recreation area or campground. Regardless there will still be fishing opportunities on smaller places just hope it doesn’t come to that.
