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.
Fly-fishing surpasses the need to actually catch a fish, it becomes a mindset, and with time, an obsession.
Lord,grant that I may catch a fish so big that even I,
When speaking afterwards,
May have no need to lie.
Amen
