The Green is open now and will remain open usually till the close of Steelie season .End of march.It usually opens in October or thereabouts depending on the size of the salmon runs.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

Don't mean to come off the wrong way but you probably should pick up a paper copy or download the PDF file online of the regs and learn to read/use em

I wouldn't trust others to tell you what's legal or not, plus there have been times where people on here have answered incorrectly.....

Good luck fishing and post some reports/pics when you get back

ditto. It was nice of flinginpooh to copy and paste them, but you should know where to find the regs. We have a link on this site:
