I think it just needs scrapping, seems to me fewer anglers use the rivers and canals, so there's less pressure on spawning fish.

I've specialised in fishing on rivers for some 36 years and have many other freinds who also only ever prefer to fish rivers,
There's an awful lot more people who fish rivers than what one might think
Personally I'm all for the close season as it really doesn't bother me in the slightest if I don't fish em for a whole 3 months, I'd call it giving the fish some respect but sadly a lot don't seem to care about that these days,
A lot of em all there actually interested in is there own ego :wh
The close season not only allows the fish to do their thing un disturbed but also allows for all other bank side animals, birds and vegetation to reproduce once again :thumbs:
Can't think of the last time I actually fished a Stillwater not that I've got anything against em as I'd probably fish the odd few natural lakes and ponds now and again during the close season but I certainly wouldn't be seen on those horrible artificial muddy pools that are called commercials mg:
