Can any one bring me up to speed or comment on why there are New no Fishing locations/dates in 2024 regulations.

Based on the time of year, I was going to guess it is to help protect the bass populations. Looks like the new regulations are there to allow them to research the affects of preseason bass fishing and fishing for nesting bass. Charleston Lake and Opinicon Lake both have new regulations for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

Overfishing or declining populations of specific species might necessitate temporary or permanent closures to allow recovery.

I recall seeing an article about that last summer. It has something to do with bass studies that are going on from Carleton U I believe.
