Fishing and Hunting to re-open on May 5th

Was it just me or was he social distancing from the microphone?  I could barely hear anyone other than Inslee with the volume maxed.

Is national Forest ground closed?
I thought it was only no camping in designated campgrounds.  Designated campgrounds have numbered slot for each camp site, correct?

Happy for the spring bear hunters. But pretty much the accesses opened and lowland lakes. Columbia River is closed still and salmon shrimp and halibut are all still not going to be open

you can camp on NF if it is a non dispersed camp ground.

The way I interpret what was said is camping on national forest is open.  Only state lands are closed.  National forest campgrounds are closed. 

I think it would be hard for WDFW to ticket you for camping on national forest if you are maintaining social distancing and don't have a pile of people camping with your immediate hunting "family".

Day trip from west side to wenaha, lol,  ok

They said they would "like" people to stick to day drips....but also said pack all your stuff needed for the outing and travel safe.  I believe national forest is open to camp but if not......find someone that will let you camp on their private land.  It sounds like they want people hunting....just do so wisely.

10-4, can't friggin wait!!!

Susewind said WDFW was not defining day trips.  Take it for what it's worth.

I don't care what you do,east,west,I give zero ,over it ,go hunting,go fishing,responsibly and GO.

Dispersed camping is open but I am hearing that FS is in discussion with the state to work hand and hand with them.  Most developed FS camp grounds don't open until Memorial day anyway.

Russ,
Are you talking about dispersed camping as in camping in a no named random spot off a national Forest road or the actual defined term from the forest service as a dispersed campground?  There are numerous dispersed named campgrounds in the national Forest. Those sites are closed or open?

They are still punishing those of us that live on the coast by keeping the ocean closed areas 1-5.. I am glad that they are opening up some opportunities but can't believe there isn't a way to tow my boat 15 minutes from home and go fishing offshore but I can "safely" tow my boat to the columbia or lake roosevelt and go there.. Happy for spring bear tag holders and turkey hunters tho..

A big concern is the tribes don't want people flooding La Push and Neah.
