I agree what better way to practice social distancing than to self isolate to the lake!!

I was thinking about this as well ! Why not, catch and release lakes shouldn’t close anyway !

Most our lakes are in a bad enough shape now. Extending it to spawning season would be pretty bad for some of the lakes. I’d be happier with more enforcement and paying $5 more for a licence for fishing and for hunting to hire more officers. That increase would more than cover the cost of their wages and a truck and equipment to use

If we were really lucky, that extra $5 would end up fixing potholes. More likely it wouldn't go anywhere that could possibly impact our lives positive manner. The government in general is the rough equivalent of that crackhead begging for change outside the 7-11... you can give them all the money you want but nobody is going to actually benefit.

Alright, rant over... I too have often wondered why we cant have more catch and release fishery's open for the spring. The minuet it involves giving more money to the government I'm out however, not because I wouldn't pay for more and better outdoors opportunities, but because I am unwilling to make investments that are extremely unlikely to produce favorable results.
