They probably feel they need to remove a large number of fish RIGHT SOON. In order to 1. utilize the fish rather then having them waste and 2. allow the fish left in the lake a chance to survive. A net fishery will accomplish this better than a sport fishery.
Perhaps the legislation is in place to allow a lake to open for a salvage net fishery and to make a bag limit change for sport fishing may be a bit more complicated and time consuming.
If the the above is a factor, they should make the appropriet changes in the regulations so they can increase sport fishing limits in a "quota season" situation.
