Which month does the fishing season for rivers and streams in both zones end?

The fishing season for rivers and streams in both zones typically ends in September. This timing allows for the protection of spawning fish as the weather changes and as fish begin their reproductive cycles in late summer and early fall. Ending the fishing season at this point helps maintain fish populations and ensures that the ecosystem remains healthy.

The closure aligns with the natural lifecycle of many species, particularly those that are popular among anglers. October, while still a popular time for fishing in some private waters or lakes, is not applicable for rivers and streams in this context. This seasonal closure is vital for sustainable fishing practices, and knowing the end date is crucial for anglers to follow regulations effectively for conservation efforts.
