My third session after some tench and finally I manage to catch a couple. Using the method and 6mm wafters on one rod and 10mm pop-up and PVA mesh bag with 4mm pellets on the other.

Whatever happened to a closed season to enable the fish to spawn 😞

[@grandadandalbisfishingtrips]

Good question. The close season was always fixed from mid March to mid June. However it was still possible for fish to be spawning well into late June. The current thinking in my club is that as soon as fish start spawning the waters are closed. When the fish finish spawning we can continue to fish again. This means our close season is variable depending on the weather, water temperature etc. Fish safety is always the priority. I cant speak for commercial fisheries which allow fishing to continue. Fish will be completely uninterested in our baits once they start spawning anyway. Its the same with the predators. We start fishing for pike in October and end in mid March since pike spawn much earlier (for obvious reasons). This close season is still fixed in my club.
