Birmingham Anglers Association

I don't think we need a close season. I like to fish the rivers and don't think there are enough anglers on the bank to make any difference., I'm the only one there very often, and it does fall when we have some of the best weather and longest days.

If anywhere needs a break I would think it's the pools and lakes where the same fish are being caught time and time again, and even more in the close season, give them a break. I don't think the close season has anything to do with fish welfare.
