The river closed season debate

Paul, i have nothing against the flyfisher/Game Angler as I have mentioned already i am one myself. My point being to those who tell me i shouldn't question the closed season as it allows the fish a chance to breed in peace, the bankside vegatation to recover and that it's my own personal greed that makes me question it's validity. No - my point is that I CAN fish as a Game angler, so why not as a Coarse angler. If i could, i wouldn't target spawning fish on a river in much the same way as i don't target spawining fish on the lakes and canals i have fished recently. We all know that spawning fish are not interested in eating. The closed season on rivers is utter nonsence with no valid argument for it in my opinion.
