My local pfbc ramp on the Delaware river is still open. I guess that could change but right now it is still open.

Interesting that the DCNR poster says ..."and fishing still open" but the Fish Commission issued a statement that no fishing is allowed in any trout stocked waters.
That eliminates a lot of fishing waters.

There's no fishing in stocked waters from March 1st until the season opener (April 18th this year). That rule is the same as it's been every year.

If you're thinking about taking your drift boat out, think about this...
You're not 6 feet away from anyone in your boat, unless you're alone. If you share rowing duties with the others in your boat like I do, how do you know you or them are not an asymptomatic carrier? It's cool & breezy out often right now, what about people rowing, wiping their nose on their sleeve or hand then grabbing your oar handles, then you using them? Then covid getting transmitted to each other, then taking it home to your families? Let's say the odds of the above scenario actually happening are slim. I can only speak for myself, but, I do not want to even have the possibility of a buddy's asthmatic daughter or high blood pressure wife getting this crap because I wanted to get out in the drifter for one day on my conscience. Does anyone? Think about it.
If anyone's going solo in their boats, who is running your shuttle? Are they covid free? How do you know? You don't.
That is why my drift boat is going to remain parked. My buddies can beg if they want, it ain't going out until I'm comfortable.

I for one am particularly pleased that I have been taking my wife and daughter along with me in the drift boat for years, now. I plan on taking advantage of the Upper Delaware later in the month and having my wife drive her car up with me in the truck with the boat, and her car can be our shuttle. Otherwise, what D-nymph says is dead-on. Until it occurred to me to have my wife with me, I didn't know who to trust with regard to a shuttle. I mean, better than half the folks who fish that area are NY folks and NYC in particular.

I would be alone and I don't really need a shuttle. I have a 55# electric motor on my drift boat. Many times I have put in at various launch sites, motored up and down a long pool, fished all day and taken out where I put in. No problem and no social contact.
