Travers Closure

[touchwood]

I have been reading alot about the closure, does anybody know where they are planning on closing it to?
I have heard that they are wanting it to be closed from the river past the campground...this would mean that there would be no fishing from the docks.
I sure hope this is not true, what about all of us that can't afford a boat and want to take our kids fishing..

Travers Reservoir and Little Bow River Open – May 8 – Mar 15 Open June 1 – Mar 15 Walleye spawn at the mouth and lower reaches of the Little Bow River upstream of Travers Reservoir, and stage at the west end of Travers. In cooler springs, walleye spawning doesn’t start until early May. The conservation closure is to protect fish spawning in the spring.

Thanks Sheep but it does not answer my question as to at what point the river end and the lake start.

From what I'm reading it sounds like they will close the entire lake from March 16th to May 31st. So there will simply be an extended closed time but then lots of time when the entire lake is open.

Thanks Fishpro
The west arm is going to be closed till June 1 but the rest of the lake will open in May, I just want to know at what point the closure is going to start and can my kids fish on the provincial docks?

I'm not actually positive about it, that's just what I got from the short bit I read. This is just what's proposed, I'm sure it will be explained better in the regs next year.
