Some of people I talk to say they won't fish on opening day or weekend becauase most of the spots are to crowded.
Me- It depends on the day if it's rainy I'm definitly going some years I wait till the next weekend.

By then I've fished since the end of March. I'll go to bass managed lakes to beat the crowd.

Good idea Bass managed lakes. I try to start fishing when the weather gets warm enough but last year was like there was no spring and barely a summer. Hopefully this year will be more promising.

I hit a small stream down from my house in the morning, and then after lunch I hook up the boat and hit a pond. Around here most concentrate on trout, so the lakes and ponds aren't too bad. Getting a good place on a stream is a different story. Very Happy

Not going to be to many fishing 1st day this year when they find out the price of a license.

I dont go for trout much but i live across the street from a stocked river. Like to get some schoolies and prespawn bass around that time.

Shouldn't this be under trout fishing instead of bass?

What it sounds like to me too Hertzy.
That time of year I'm trying for schoolies on the CT or Farmington river

I left it for bass but it could go either way. I don't do alot of trout fishing which is something I'm gonna do more of this year I got a new flyreel (Hardy Bros.)I wanna try out.

I do fish opening day, simply because i'm usually already fishing as soon as the ice melts. i dont fish for trout so im usually active before then and when opening day does roll around i go places where no one else is likely to be; places that are secluded and not heavy with trout. usually early spring has me hitting bass and perch. i catch and release 99% of the time anyway so to m i guess opening day has no real significance.

I have fished on opening day only once and never again. I went to a local pond stocked with trout and it was so busy that I thought I was on the Mijoy on the weekend. Mad I usually just go the day after or the next weekend. Very Happy
