Additionally, I figured folk that had clubs already fished during the off-season because there's no one enforcing it. Do game wardens ever check the club's property in the first place? This new rule just simply made it official. With or Without the rule I dont see what it would change.

I think the main problem is private clubs to begin with. Kind of lame that the state chose to sell so much public river to private. I don't have a big understanding of how much river is under club boundaries compared to public water- I know that for hacklebarney state park it's actually mostly private however... id like to imagine a hike from the bottom of that stretch to the top with a rod in my hand, but at its current length it's not even 3 hour hike I think.
The only good thing is that their extra club stocking of fish gets into the general public river eventually sometimes as well.
