Why WOULDN'T anybody support this closure??? It obviously allows for Walleye to do their thing in privacy without pressures from us and then to re-group,heal and rest before heading back out into the big water. Not closing allows for a potential slaughter. It would be essentially shooting fish in a barrell.
An ideal conservation moment presents itself when a young kid asks why they can't go fishing off the dock. "Well son,we could catch fish pretty easily right now but then we would not have any to catch next year."
Anybody who feels that they absolutely need to catch fish that easily (for their sake or for their kids' enjoyment) should go to the local stocked trout pond where more stock can be added annually.
