when i asked about this a few years back at the watershed office, they said that the lakes were closed to fishing during the winter because that's when the lands are open to hunting and they didn't want somebody getting shot. i'm a hunter as well as a fisherman and this doesn't make any sense to me for two reasons: first, hunting and fishing play nicely together on all the state park and WMA lands... in fact doing both in one outing is fantastic. and second, any hunter should know what's beyond their target before shooting anyway
