I don't know enough biology to say whether eggs laid in the inlet will survive. Or that there are or aren't enough walleye spawning elsewhere in Willard. But I know this: every large female walleye taken out of the inlet won't be spawning ever again.
It's far too difficult to tell the snaggers from the ethical anglers at the inlet if it is open to fishing. If it's closed, then ANYONE caught fishing there can be cited.
As to comparing Willard to other bodies of water with closed seasons during spawning, all such closures can be said to protect spawning fish, regardless of other arguments.
