Closed season for pike

[Pearce]

Hi,
I'm new to pike fishing and I keep hearing people talk about a closed season. Is this a environmental agency law like the river closed season or just made up by anglers?

It's not an EA byelaw, it's decided by whoever controls the fishing on individual waters.

I fish the canals for Pike year round. But sometimes in hot weather I give it a miss, or if they are spawning.
