It's that time of year again and I'm intrested to hear what other anglers thoughts are regarding the close season. Personally I think it's out dated and needs to be reviewed , anglers are the eyes and ears ,and especially theses days with otters cormorants , poachers and pollution. Years ago it was a very special moment as a young angler waiting for the glorious June 16th to come round and everyone waiting in antisipation ready to cast their first line, but now things need to change IMO, even our weather has changed so fish can spawn even later in the year, surely the Angling Trust , and the EA could put it to consultation and review the outcome, this law was brought in in 1847 I think so it really does need to be brought up, and besides for the next few months the misses will have a huge list of jobs to do
