Title: opening day is almost here
Post by: trapper2000 on Mar 29, 2021, 04:04 PM: like a little kid waiting for christmas i'm so excited i am having a hard time getting any sleep, but trips to outdoor stores checking streams and making plans help
i have new waders to start and filled the fly boxes refilled my spinning box with a few phoebes ,panther martins and thompsons wiggle eels
plans are simple first opening day hitting waters near me me then heading to the catskills where i can jump the border and stay at camp then PA opens the 3rd and i'll fish streams close to camp where the rules are a bit more simple shall we say .... i really can't wait and i want to hear every ones experiences this year good luck and are you ready????

Post by: Mac Attack on Mar 29, 2021, 05:00 PM: I used to take the opener off and go
Haven’t the past 12-15 yrs.
Always too busy.

This year I swore I was going.
Even built myself a new UL spinning rod for it. One for Jeff too.

Too busy this week.

I just read 44 pages of your states new trout management plan. It's interesting to say the least.

Post by: trapper2000 on Mar 30, 2021, 05:29 AM: hey i don't understand it i won't pretending to and i think it's a bad idea that being said i am still going to try to stay positive i'll only fish waters i KNOW the rules and as i said PA is a lot more trout fisherman friendly i don't mind going to camp and i fish down there anyways....... i hope everyone picks up a copy ...44 pages of rules on ny trout streams and avoid any tickets.....

i have used opening day as a excuse to go shopping in every outdoor i know since i was a kid this year my only exception is i have learned about amazon so i am stocked with the latest greatest gear that i will never use all for 5 trout no 3 no 1 wait below that rock is 5 below that set of rapids is 3 .... oh forget it

Post by: bbfrogger on Mar 30, 2021, 10:10 AM: Some of my favorite memories of trout fishing with my dad and grandfather involved finding the right sized forked stick to whittle down and put the trout on, then backtracking 3 or 4 times to try to find where I set it down to fish :laugh: :laugh:
