Zach:
The trout handbook which is an interpretative sumary says “closed to fishing.” The actual codebook (1/2006) says: “This area is closed to fishing or wading from November 1 – January 31.”
Thanks. I didn’t realize the code book went further either.
The eggs start to soften about a month before emergence around the 1st of February which is part of the reason for the reg.
