Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fwd: Recreational Fishing and Boating Prohibition

But boating/fishing for food is exempt in Maryland, like groceries, not a recreation.

Limit risk of exposure by staying home

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Webpage Recreational Fishing and Boating Prohibition The Maryland Department of Natural Resources reminds all anglers that under Governor Larry Hogan's Stay at Home order, recreational fishing and boating are prohibited activities.  Limited exceptions exist only for individuals who fish as a matter of sustenance. In all cases, catch-and-release fishing is strictly prohibited anywhere in Maryland.  The executive order states that no Maryland resident should leave their home unless it is for an essential job or for an essential reason, such as obtaining food or medicine, seeking urgent medical attention, or for other necessary purposes.  The governor's executive order is in place until further notice and the intent is simple: stay home unless you absolutely must leave. The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious global health crisis and the number of confirmed cases and deaths in Maryland rises everyday. Risking unnecessary exposure is not just a hazard for you -- it puts law enforcement, emergency responders, seniors, and vulnerable populations in danger. We will save lives by doing the right thing and simply staying home. For any questions, please refer to the department's website. Home    News    Magazine    Photo Contest    Regulations    Store
