On one of the Facebook pages, a lot of talk about fishing with this shut down order was taking place. I guess in Owyhee county, the sheriff and Idaho Power shut down totally all of the boat ramps around CJ. And I guess Idaho Power shut down all their ramps throughout Idaho. Others are supposedly following suit.
The one issue with the order and fishing is the social distancing part of the order. The distance is 6ft and in most boats you cannot meet that distance. If it is in the same family supposedly it is ok to go like that but if you are from different families that is where the kicker comes into play and the distance in most cases cannot be met. But, in the order fishing alongwith farming is listed as an essential activity as long as you meet the distance requirement and keep groups under 10 which some cant meet either.
Good luck either way and let's just pray everyone stays safe and healthy.
