4 weeks to go ish !!!!

A new season in approaching and not fast enough , for the likes of me I can only fish during the season (no fisheries or course fishing here) the other alternative is sea fishing but for some reason this does not appeal to me !

I would like to ask you guys and gals what do you get up to during the closed season ?

Myself this time has been spent on doing my hooose up ! and spending money on fishing gear that I probably dont need !

Regards

Ross

Sounds familiar.

Our river season ends Oct 31st and reopens on March 1st. I generally don't bother with put and takes, unless I really get the urge. Haven't fished in 3 months, and to be honest, I have only started to get the urge again now.

I used to be mad keen all year allrounder but a winter like this one puts me off these days

I love fishing in the cold, snow and rain. Not too keen on the heat! It's only wind that puts me off.

Aye there is cold and friggin cold !!!

I often have to smash the ice up before i start fishing

Here in Italy the closed season is more or less, depending on the various regions, from the first Sunday of October to the first Sunday of March, but only on rivers designated "A", i.e., rivers where salmonid species are regularly present.

In winter I usually go SWFFing, although I will sometime fish the "B" stretch of rivers like the Pescara, which ironically, due to the presence of one of Europe's largest trout farms upstream, has a rather healthy population of escapee stockie rainbows. In Abruzzo, where the Pescara river is found, the law clearly states that the closed season applies only to brown trout and strangely, the brook trout, which is a rather rare introduced species. There is a year-round ban on Salmo trutta macrostigma. Ergo, you can actually fish for rainbows in a "B" river! At least that's my interpretation of the law .
