Near me it's only the rivers that are closed apart from a couple of council owned stillwaters that have a close season 31st March while 1st July, they are nature reserves and apparantly the ducks won't bonk and thrive while anglers are on the bank.
Must admit though, the birds nest in over hanging trees that are just a few feet from the near bank so it's fair enough.
