I would throw the question out to F&W and see what their reply is...

Based on a similar question I recently asked F&W (the converse question about the 1 time stocking waters), I believe their answer will be that they are still closed as stated in the digest since that is the official legal fish code for the year and it is not easily changed (or worth doing) this late in the game. Again, this is just an educated guess.
