Stay Safe Stay Home

I’ve been going off of this.

I fish alone 90% of the time or meet friends at the location.

Looks like they updated it last night just after 9pm to what I pointed out.

I guess that is what I was getting at for me…I troll and jig from a boat and live in davis county, so lake fishing is done for me.

dubob you are the smart one here 
I want to go to Flaming gorge this coming week, my Granddaughter told me I could not go, but I’m going nuts.
I can buy gas and never see any one, would need a room may beable to get in there with out seeing any one, have not called yet.
are could sleep in my truck are boat but  would need a bathroom. 
I go to a store once every two weeks to buy milk,  I see alot more people than I would see fishing.

But the If is what if I have a Accident. are brake down.   If I buy something it will help some one.

gov herbs been a lame duck since day 1
feel free to tell him that 4 me
so the bat and pangolin wet market shoppers gave us a virus
much like levitts fams piss poor run hatchory gave the trout one
at the time it was thought to be the end of rainbows
turns out them troot were pretty resilent
i have faith in humans
and like the hat says


if i told you breaking victim less crimes mattered to me in the past
id be lying
Much like the ski resorts closed the inferstructures that could be a viris vector
but the waters and outdoors should never be closed to responsible use
more so in times of uncertainty

Im with i like trolling
and if bikes arent considered essentail business im unemployed
ill be in browns park this week
and not exposing myself to others in the stand in unemployment line
this was the willard dyke yesterday



I realize its an unseen danger
its much like avalaunches in a way
but where is the virus danger in these pictures
on the rocks? in the air? on the water?
woodchucks got it?
heck i couldnt even find waldo let alone another person within miles
cept for 1 boat i saw
and convesly if i have it and am asymtomatic
who did i endanger?

I did share my own thoughts with the governor. I encourage you to do the same.

So, I am an man about … the state.  I live in ALL COUNTIES.  So, where do I want to fish tomorrow?   :angel:

Ironically, if I wanted to be alone, I would go fishing at a State Park that is not in my county. Spacing between people when I do that is typically over a mile. There is a lot of space in State Parks. Here’s a picture of me fishing at a State Park. Just look at all the spaciousness behind me – no getting a virus there! Social distancing is greater than one mile!

Quoting myself to add to the list of reasons that fishing is a proper social distancing activity. I read that the virus is killed in 30 seconds with bleach and in ONE second by sunlight. It would seem that driving there alone (not that I want to be alone, but that’s another subject) and fishing surrounded by a mile of space of no other person and being in SUNLIGHT, I would be very safe from the proliferation of the virus while fishing.

DO NOT touch your face.    and wash your hands a lot
How many times a day Do you touch your face?
The average person can touch their face up to 3000 times a day. But between touching our faces, we are also touching everything else, including doorknobs, desks, cellphones, and each other, which carries bacteria. and the coronavirus

Yup Craig. you are right about Blanding being in San Juan County. I got my info from wife who got it from my son and in the exchange Blanding moved to Garfield. When I asked for a copy of the notice the sheriff issued them the geography righted itself.

We can hope for the best but in the mean time prepare for the worst. What we really need is some warmer weather.
Tight lines.

I’m not directing this to any one individual; just general comments to anybody who cares.

We are living in very perilous times right now.  Our Federal, state, & local government officials, for the most part, are taking positive measures to try and stay ahead of this current crisis.  So far, they are succeeding and we (the USA) are coping far better than a majority of the rest of the world on a percentage of population basis.

We aren’t going to like most of the restrictions being placed on us, and some, less intelligent folks, are just going to completely ignore the recommended and/or mandated restrictions to our basic freedoms.  As the new public announcements and commercials we are seeing every day now say, we ARE all in this together.  This is serious stuff folks.  There is a bigger picture here besides the minor interruptions to our daily routines.  And come on - they ARE minor interruptions.

The positive for most of us is the likelihood that if we follow the guidelines and recommendations, we will still be enjoying quality time with our loved ones and friends for many years to come.  The negative is that if we don’t, more of us will die earlier than expected.  So, where are your priorities?  Should we all just ignore the consensus from the experts that we really need to buckle down and defeat this crisis NOW, or do we go for some instant gratification?  Or should we take their advice, follow the guidelines, and just maybe get to spend more of our future with friends and family?

To have the ‘instant gratification’ attitude that leads you to say/think, “Screw 'em, I’m going to do it anyway!”, is moronic; and yes, I AM calling you a moron if that is your attitude.  This crisis will be beat regardless of the morons.  The amount of time it takes to beat it will depend, in large measure, on how many of us pull together vs how many of us continue to be morons.  So, it’s attitude adjustment time folks.  Please reconsider being that moron.  You and our country will be better off if you do.

Thanks for listening; I’m stepping down off the box now.   :smiley:

*I myself have been hunkered down for 2wks now yet today I must do some shopping for essentials and then back to the next month isolated with a possible essential mission somewhere. Also been seeing on the news how some governors on the east coast are closing their borders to out of state none residents. This is appearing to a possibility of a challenge under the constitution of the United States and the 14th Amendment. *

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

*I have no idea how this will effect or pan out to those powers to be and those who enforce laws within our own state boundaries. COVID-19 is not something we need and to get a handle on it we should stay isolated keeping our families as safe as we can. I have 2 sons with their families living in Sacramento which we are praying that this virus doesn’t strike them.

BE WELL & BE SAFE TOO ALL*

Anglinarcher - you and I agree 100% on this: the REAL truth is hidden somewhere in the middle.  At 77 and a total of 40 years working as a Fed, I to have just a little insight into the intricacies of how the swamp works.  I also think it is wiser to err on the side of caution.  That said, I think we can both agree that safe living for all of us is a worthy goal.  Peace and tight lines to you always.
