When is open water fishing allowed in the North Zone lakes and ponds?

Open water fishing in the North Zone lakes and ponds is allowed from April 1st to September 30th. This timeframe aligns with the seasonal patterns of fish behaviors and spawning periods, reflecting proper management and conservation practices. During this period, anglers can take advantage of the warming waters and increased fish activity as the weather transitions from winter to summer.

The restrictions outside this timeframe are in place to protect fish populations and their habitats, ensuring sustainability in fishing practices. This system helps maintain ecological balance by allowing fish to breed and replenish their populations during certain months of the year, which is crucial for long-term fishing health.
