First, there has not been sufficient biological information in this thread, or the furor posted here last year to reach such a conclusion. Post what you have that indicates the is no biological component to the decision to keep open or close down if you have anything.
Common sense would indicate there are biological impacts. Whether or not the particular fish in the inlet will ever sucessfully reproduce does not negate the existance of an biological impact - only on a new recruitment impact. Albeit a small percentage, there WILL be less walleye for me to chase this summer due to illegal take.
