opening day trout season

[Robhuntandfish]

So opening day is also Easter this year.  Anyone going out despite it being the holiday?  I will be out for sure for at least one cast.  Tradition.

I've been trout fishing all winter! But no, I won't be going out on Sunday, I'll wait until May/June when the hoards of "suddenly trout fisherman" disperse and the water warms a bit. I hate fishing on weekends as it is, too many people, fish get spooked and lock up. Good luck to you though!

I will most likely get out for a few hours.  Have to walk a long way to get away from the masses though!

I'll go take a few casts for the sake of it.

I won’t go on Easter Sunday but probably the following weekend

I may take my 5wt. fly rod with a minnow streamer, through the snow drifts, to a 34 degree water temperature, fast running, chocolate milk colored, hot spot. Make two or three casts, before tangling my line, on a back cast, in the nearest bush or tree. Before muttering under my breath, #@€*×¥+..., break off the line, and head home. To some marshmallow peeps and a handful of jelly beans.

   For many years a group of friends and I  always had an opening day trout contest...Entry fee was ten bucks..We would fish from dawn until noon and then meet at someone's house settle up bets ( longest trout took all) and then play poker all afternoon..

Most of the guys who use to participate are now dead or unable to fish anymore..It just ain't the same..

I'll wait until after opening day when water conditions are favorable on some of the obscure, unstocked  tributaries that I enjoy fishing.. The fish are either wild or holdovers that swim up from the main river..  I'll  drift crawlers and catch some beautiful wild trout and seldom see another fisherman..I seldom kill any stream trout anymore unless they are badly hooked, which  does occasionally happen when fishing bait...  Later in the month when the major fly hatches start coming off, I'll fly fish the main river, but the crowds will be gone by then...

Go Fishing Everybody .... fish don't celebrate Easter !

I can imagine what the streams look like. A foot and a half of snow melt in the last week and been raining for two days straight!! I know there is some flooding going on.

[Robhuntandfish]

nothing but flooding here for sure.  Have to make one cast just because I always have

I will be going after breakfast and after my Granddaughter collects her eggs and her basket from the Easter Bunny.Silly Rabbit is giving her her first fishing box and a Minnie Mouse pole,and life jacket.Wish I were 5 again

Going out as early as I can, and staying out as long as I can.

[ATbuckhunter]

Ill be skipping opening day to avoid the crowds so ill go either Monday or Tuesday. 

[BigVal]

I've been after them a few times already, decided I don't really enjoy eating them so no big deal for opening day.

Where did you go?

Any luck?

[TurtleFace]

Not who I was looking for but I'm much happier than getting no bites.

[Robhuntandfish]

I was out on chenango canal.  Didn't even see a trout but it was nice to be out.  Usually get at least one out of there.  Had to wade through a good amount of snow in some spots.  That's ok it was a good day to fish.

Went out to Clear Creek... water was high and fast... My son in law managed one native brown.  It was great to get out there!

Nothing better than a summer night behind the Foamex plant catching wild rainbow after wild rainbow!
