The thing is WDFW didn't even *have* to issue regulations on those details. It's already in Proclamation 20-25, which prohibits all gatherings and multi-person activities except for people in the same household.

I think WDFW's point about ESA mandates and fish-checkers is totally valid, but that doesn't require closing the entire state to fishing.
