Want to see me strike a few nerves ????
A closed season should only be in effect to protect the fish just as our current pike regs do.
Most trout spawn from October through January so this should be the closed season for them.Not the months of March and April.
Bass spawn in May to early June ,if any species needs to be protected with a closed season it is Bass. Close the bass season like all the other states around us during the spawn. Than you can have your opening day on June 15 .This would also eliminate all the out of state boaters that only come to CT to harass our spawning fish because their state do not allow fishing for spawning bass.
