I haven't been there yet nor during the winter for obvious reasons, but I doubt the perch population rebounded enough to allow anglers to keep them again.
You should go there before assuming they just opened it up for the park to make money...

Cross Lake had a partial summer kill 2 summers ago. The closure was actually unwarranted as there were and still are healthy populations of fish.

Dead fish were spotted so the reaction was to make the lake C&R which does make some sense. Upon inspection they realized there are still plenty of fish up there so they reinstated the old regs.

They did the same thing at another lake in NB1 a year or two ago as well, can't remember its name though.
