Hi Folks, The EA are doing a consultation just now, hey are trying to get rid of the close season for brown trout and salmon in stocked waters.

Good idea ?

I am not in favour of this.But with triploid trout in an enclosed stillwater (no spawning facility) then I find it hard to argue against it.

Triploids...................... fair enough cheese.

On the same train Jim.

If only some of our stillwaters stocked more brownies

Agree, with landlocked triploids, no probem at all.

What would be the situation where a fishery stocked both Triploid and spawning capable fish. would that mean that there would be a closed season or a no closed season?.

Alan and more

no problem at all with this, also most of the waters I fish have a closed season anyway so you can't fish for nearly three months of the year.

Hi guys

Don't you lot read your forum

There's a whole new section called.... Ear To The Ground.....where news like this can be found and debated.

A good amount has already been said there....a good read

If there's a natural strain, running feeder streams, then there's a close season.
