Can I go fishing at Big Flat(Dalton lk ) tomorrow in Franklin County? Quarry pond in Walla Walla county?

Can I go to any of the habitat management units along the lower Snake River to walk my dog and bird watch?

Soda or the Goose lakes up at Potholes?

Can I launch at Hood park on the Snake? Two Rivers Park? Above Ice Harbor or Lower Monumental?

Scootney reservoir?

 >:(
Dalton Lake, Hood Park, Two Rivers, and Habitat Management Units are US Army Corps, they are open.
Quarry Pond is US Fish and Wildlife, it is open.
Scooteney is US Bureau of Reclamation, it is open.
Soda and Goose are on WDFW Wildlife Areas, they are closed.

Thank you for answering but your answer only goes to show the utter bull crap this is. Why oh why do we the public have to keep track of 4 different agencies? Its all public land.

DOES THE VIRUS CARE IF I'M ON CORP OF ENGINEERS LAND OR WDFW LAND?

And for those who say that I should be in my house anyways....please, give me a break. I sincerely doubt I or anyone else is being put in grave danger of death out in the open air at a boat launch. Just use common sense for gosh sake.

That part bolded above is why we keep having more restrictions added because of selfish people saying MEEEE!!!! Damn selfish millennials lol

What do think the odds are of you catching the virus at a boat launch?

I'll support not going in crowded places and do my best at social distancing....but a boat launch?

I dont think you will catch it a boat launch but that is not the point. The point is people didnt stay at home on their own so now the government is closing down everything they have control over to force people to stay home.

Juniper dunes is BLM and i assume open

Grant county sherriff says Moses Lake dunes are open for riding but not camping. I cant seem to figure out what agency runs it.

Beverly dunes are CLOSED. Again, its hard to tell who runs it. Looks like a mix of DNR and WDFW???

OnX says the Moses lake dunes are owned by the Bureau of Reclamation. Whatever that means
I laugh in the face of Danger. Ha ha ha Danger Face!

The Moses Lake dunes are owned by BOR but managed by WDFW as a wildlife area so they are closed as of yesterday.

If the state closes liquor stores or sales, that's a lot of people who'll need medical help.  DT's.   

I have some experience with DT's when I was training in the ambulance for my EMT, it's not pretty, they can die.

Prince Charles has it.

Rumor is, he caught it whilst launching his dingy on The River Thames.

That sucks but this was much needed!  :chuckle:
Thank you.

Like some have said and I 100% agree, we are all in this together, young or old, it doesn't matter, more young people are getting it(my wifes friend has a 19 year old hockey playing son in otherwise excellent health that is in ICU in Michigan with this crap)and the faster the younger generation figures out they arnt bulletproof or if they don't show symptoms they can still "crop dust" the dang virus all over, the faster we can get through this and get back to some sort of normalcy. The more that people continue to buck the system, the rules or precautions put forth the longer this crap is going to linger and flare up. As far as those of us that hunt, fish and recreate outdoors, well they are going to shut us down also, we need everyone to follow the guidelines or we won't be doing any hunting this year either. As a human being I am doing everything asked and everything I can to help the population and my community get through this as fast as possible so in the bigger picture, me as a sportsman can also get back to doing what I enjoy. Like I said, the more people that take this seriously, contribute to its demise and not to the possibility of spreading it, the faster we ALL get back to doing what we enjoy..... :twocents:
