Could we please get an explantion on why some of the trout regs are being changed and closed seasons being added in the prime months.

 Quote:
There will be a summer closed season for trout on East Twin, Highland, and Crystal Lakes, including no use of downriggers or leadcore line.
Does this mean we cannot use down riggers or leadcore on these lakes anymore at all or just during the closed season ?

Can I troll with a keel sinker ?

Can I troll using SS Wire (not leadcore) ?

Can I still troll deep diving crank baits for smallies ?

What will this do to the current regs and slot limits currently in place ?

What if I catch a trout while fishing at night in July under my "crappie" lights ?

I see lots of loop holes already in the new regs :rolleyes:

Why not protect the trout with a closed season during the spawn ?
From September until January ?
