After just noticing this post now, I'd have to that there's no use or reason of having a closed season for trout with only certain places still open. I've never understood that with having a season for trout, why not have the season still opened in March and early April instead of having it open in the dead of summer when the water really warms up which trout don't like? For people like me who have no special schedule on fishing during the year for cetain types of freshwater fish, they should still have most lakes, ponds, and rivers open year round for trout fishing. With me not having a job right now, but trying and trying to look, I have all the time to get out for fishing. So I just wish Great Hollow Lake was opened year round because that's the closest place for me to fish for trout and I have to rely on somebody to get me there without having to go too far since I don't have a car. So why have a closed season?
