Are we allowed to go outside to fish?

[Bergen Angler]

Does anyone know whether we are allowed to drive and go fishing in local water now that we have "stay at home" policy/order in NJ?

[thmyorke1]

yes outdoor recreation/exercise is ok.

I was wondering the same thing. Can we argue it’s exercise and very much essential?

I heard NJ governor speech and it doesn't seem essential. You have to stay off the roads during all hours. He spoke about going for a walk near your house. I'm going to guess that if you are towing a boat down route 80 you may get pulled over.

I suppose if you have some local water near your house, that may be ok.

Would love to hear a definitive answer, just my opinion.

Looks like you can still enter the parks but all buildings (offices, restrooms, etc.) are shut down.
