I hear rumour Nova Scotia is postponing recreational fishing from April first to may 1.

I heard some states have done similar.

If the laws are on the books saying it's open...can they ..do that?

I am not a law breaker...but in this case...

The state of Washington shut down all recreational fishing. They just call it an emergency closure and ticket you for fishing during a closed season.

Crazy


My boat is 300 yards from my house. And I fish alone. I think it's a ridiculous idea. Social distancing is social distancing regardless of the activity.

Thanks for trying to keep me safe Mr government, but I think I got this one..

Still open here in Michigan for now. It won't surprise me to see all the public boat launches closed next week. The lots were full on Lake Erie and the Detroit River last weekend. 5-6 guys piling in boats together when you are supposed to be solo or with family from the same household. Idiots ruining it for us all.

There's the issue. Kind of like stengthening gun laws when criminals already dont follow them. People are.already not social distancing, dont make me a.criminal by outlawing how I get food!

It needs an "order of counsel" so if your legislature is sitting, they can change the season dates at that time usually held on Wednesday

I think you have been FORD...ED with the power that he has now.

Hopefully the legislature isn't sitting, but social distancing lol.

So far he hasn't hinted at it. Perhaps humans really are this stupid and deserve being nannied.

I agree fishing closure is rediculous. People go fishing to get away from other people.

What makes this so different is, most times in life if you are stupid and do stupid things, you suffer the consequences. And this is a good system imo.

This time, if you are stupid and do stupid things, grandpa suffers the consequences.

People are gonna have to fall back on all the old poaching skills,like travelling hunting and fishing without leaving any trace or sign.
I imagine all the younger guys dont know how to do that with a truckload of modern equipment,lol.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Just googled it. Confirmed, Nova Scotia is postponing it till May 1. Not so bad here, as it already opens may 1, with some species open now.

Not sure this is good actually. Gives them four weeks to contemplate closing it...

They waived fishing license here. Fish for free until the 29th.

Good Lord, in Maine they opened up the fishing season early and I think they have allowed folks to fish for a month without a license.
This might sound good but there are some issues.
First other than super over driven fly fisherman, no one fishes this early. But I have heard folks are hitting the water.
This time if year a lot of guys are spring beaver trapping.
Not a good mix.

I'm going to be paying a lot of fines come May if this happens in Wisconsin.

I'll kill someone if I can't go fishing.

I don’t understand the thinking behind this at all. The only other activities I can think of that are as good or better for social distancing are hunting and trapping.
