I complete disagree with the notion of a closed fishing season. It makes no sense, what are we going to during the closed season for recreation? Get bored and take depression pills? Fish populations are better protected by slot limits. After the spawn or whenever the closed season ends, most of the fish protected during the closed season are harvested anyway, so a closed season is of negligible conservation value. Fishing has not deteriorated but is getting better all the time, in my personal experience.
