As everyone can imagine, when Murphys new protocol came out the other day, there was a lot of confusion as to whether it included WMA's. I had emailed the state to confirm, and this is the response i got. We're good to fish at most places.

At this time state Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) remain open for hunting and fishing. However, if people do not maintain proper social distancing they too may be closed as state parks and forests have already been. Thanks for your cooperation in helping us maintain hunting and fishing opportunities on state WMAs.

Keeping Wildlife Management Areas Open to Hunting and Fishing is Up to You!

Wildlife Management Areas are currently open for hunting and fishing.
We want to keep it that way, so we need YOU to observe proper social distancing guidelines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to practice safe social distancing at all times!
Be safe. Be smart. Keep your distance and keep our Wildlife Management Areas open!

Check out the Division's Video on guidelines for fishing during the COVID-19 crisis.
