Personaly i can't see a reason for the close season for two reasons. Firstly this time of year a lot of anglers will stop fishing due to the weather conditions so they have brought in there own closed season. Secondly i lived and fished in holland for 6 years and they don't have a closed season. The fishing on rivers, lakes and canals is fantastic throughout the year so is not affected by a none closed season.
I think the closed season was only brought in to keep the rifraf off the rivers while the gentry went trout fishing and so is outdated.
