..“[A] complete recreational fishing closure in the state of Washington, in my opinion, is completely, completely ridiculous,” Tom Nelson from The Outdoor Line told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson Show.

Because if a fish coughs on you, you are doomed.

Have they closed Mt. Rushmore yet?

Unbelievable!

The game wardens don't want to work......

No excuse for this nonsense.

This reminds me of Obama closing down the monuments in DC during the budget stand-off.

I’m waiting for them to tell us we can’t go boating

Are they going to extend the fishing license? Or refund it?

Idea: Stop brushing your teeth, bathing or using deodorant, or changing your lucky fishing clothes. Eat large amounts of beans.

Then other people fishing will keep their distance from you.
Problem solved.

You could be eating a bowl of soup in the middle of nowhere.
And down comes a bat and lands in your soup.
But you don’t notice it and continue to eat it.

4 old white guys.... what do you think?

Appears to be an effort to maximize inconvenience to their population and nothing to do with stopping virus spread.

I can’t think of a better way to social distance than going on my boat fishing, especially deep sea.

This is really about keeping people in their homes.

Poor people who catch fish to eat will starve.
Democrats don’t care about poor people...

[Rebelbase]

Surely this won’t apply to the natives on the Indian reservations?

[Voltage]

Is walking banned? I am heading out to walk 2 miles.

Fish eye...

[Vendome]

I am nearing the edge of this...

I know of a used book dealer who does that when buying at large church and civic book sales. I think he also urinates on his clothes and lets them ferment for a couple of days.

The aisles are packed shoulder to shoulder and he’s got 6 feet on either side of him cleared out while he browses.

Have they closed Mt. Rushmore yet?

People rappelling down the monuments have to swing 6 feet away from each other.

Regular sightseeing was closed anyway to start the blasting work to put up the Nancy Pelosi head. In the fine print under extra money to PBS, Planned Parenthood and express entrance of illegal immigrants.

The fish are closed due to the lack of waterproof N95 masks!
