My opinion is that I wish fishing and hunting was open, as I am really missing out on both right now.

That being said...let's at least be honest about what's happening here. It's not about getting too close to someone in the boat, or rubbing shoulders with someone at a hatchery hole.

It's about the 95% of the fishermen in our state that live in areas that are heavy with Covid-19 traveling to the rest of the state that is not, and bringing the virus with us there.

Those areas also have shitt for hospitals, doctors, and ability to deal with any significant outbreaks.

The unfortunate truth is that people suck, and will travel to those areas and be irresponsible when they do, and it's impossible to just stop the idiots, or to stop them from being idiots...so closing fishing and hunting does the next best thing.

Really, at the end of the day, as much as this sucks...is someone who dies because a fisherman driving to Forks from Everett brings Covid-19 with them really a fair price to pay for your recreation?

Fish on...
