SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.VA. — The suspension of open fishing tournaments in West Virginia has been extended through May 3 in compliance with Gov. Jim Justice’s stay-at-home executive order, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources announced on Monday.

Fishing in general and web-based tournaments that allow people to submit results online are still permitted, but DNR is urging anglers to observe social distancing guidelines at all times when enjoying the outdoors.
