Thread: KY Fish and Wildlife current fishing recommendations, Covid-19

Just checked the KDFW Covid-19 page:
I guess my scheduled guided trip in a couple weeks may not be too smart based on the Boat Anglers recommendations.

Bank anglers: Stay at least one fishing pole’s length from those around you. Take advantage of the outdoor space and practice social distancing. Find areas to fish away from places that others may naturally want to congregate, such as fishing piers.
Boat anglers: One family per boat. Do not share a boat with someone outside of your family or with whom you have not been in quarantine. Always allow enough room on the boat to maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet.

At boat ramps, practice proper social distancing and avoid mass gatherings or crowded areas while on the ramps. Please take extra time to space out while waiting to load boats into the water. Stay off the ramp if others are loading or unloading to avoid crowding. Wait until the courtesy dock is clear of others. Avoid touching areas such as hand rails on the courtesy dock unless absolutely necessary.

And who has a boat big enough to maintain 6ft distance when seated & running WOT ??

Obviously the people that wrote those "recommendations" have little idea about boats or fishing.
