I REALLY HOPE that this is an old April Fools churp.....other wise I don't know how I will react!!!!

I am giong red under my collar...someone please tell me this is an 01Apr09 fekking joke!

I'm sure it's a joke,

If it weren't, who's going to enforce it cause I can't remember the last time I was asked for a fishing licence.

If they wanted a closed season I would hope that the authorities would have the understanding that it would be much more benificial to have a closed season over the first spawn, not winter. The dates smack of trout spawning closure, hence I also believe that it's a joke.

Lets start with a ban on pumping sh!t into the vaal and its tribs - they can't even enforce that.

They have used Rotenone in the US, but then again, they also did first build hatcheries and establish a restocking program for the treated stream/rivers with the original strain of trout before using it.

They've also used electro shocking quite successfully in the states - but like you said they restocked properly too - and they also made sure that there were decent migration barriers in place.

It's much too easy to to just poison a river, electro shocking means you would have to actually do some work and use some gray matter.
