For those places that don't have a close season of any length then I'd like to think the fish, lake and surrounding flora & fauna will have a great time, many places may well need the rest.

I hope that the lack of anglers and food will see some of the gulls disappear back to where they belong - the sea!

Would be nice - guarantee though that as soon as the throwing stick comes out they'll all reappear...

I think it will be a good break for the fish, hopefully they will make the most of the break and wake up ready for munching.

Yes. Shame the people who introduce otters can't switch to peregrine falcons.

Yep - instantly, from nowhere, at the merest sight of a catty or throwing stick

I think it will do the lake's the world of good to be left alone as it was before the close season was abolished
31 March until 16th June. As it used to be.
I think all rivers still have the closed season.
There are so many different views on this we could go on and on about the outcome. I just hope that it's over soon enough and more lives can be saved. Yes we all would like to go fishing again but is it really that important with whats going on in the world

Just a thought...a very well known friend of mine made a point to me the other day...
Its a valid point,and worth thinking about,....most lakes I guess will be quiet right now,and as I have noticed, in the fields,woods and roads locally the wildlife is coming out,more and more,they seem less timid ,less afraid..which is lovely to witness...
However,if your lake is a quiet, peaceful location,I wonder if more predation will occur ,especially if your venue has no fencing...
Will those fish still be there,unmolested, who knows?

This has been an issue at my local club waters. No anglers on the bank means otters are getting on when no one is there and resulting in couple a good fish being taken.

Otters will be having a field day
