Not a hornets nest really people have different views, personally i don't fish rivers anymore has the match turnouts are small knock ups. I haven't heard a reason for a closed season other than nostalga, from my observations over a few years in holland the fishing or fish have never been affected by not having a closed season.
Wasn't the closed season brought in to keep the working class of the rivers while the gentry were fishing for trout.
