I think I'd better air my own views since it was I who started it.
I personally am in favour of the closed season purely for the points mentioned above
about the Eco system and giving everything a chance to catch it's breath so to speak,
plus there is something magical to me (some of you may think that's a bit OTT)about being able to get to the river (ribble in my case) on June 16th and try for those Barbel that I've been thinking about since March.
