Close it!!! Leaving it open doesn't do justice to what that lake is all about.... Trophy Northern Pike!! If we want a trophy Northern Pike lake we should let them spawn in peace. Without being accidentally caught or pressured. There are plenty of other good fisheries in the state that remain open through out the year and do not close. This gives everyone an opportunity to fish for many other species. For example.... you can go to the CT River and catch almost every species of fish that swims in CT...
