I will probably toss some lures "targeting pickerel", and release a bunch of trout. No stamp needed.

I'll probably take a kayak out to Wyassup, Green Falls or Glasco. I cant deal with the crowded streams. We've kept our annual opening day camping trip on the third Saturday weekend, we've been doing it so long.

Yes I will be definitely fishing on opening day, can’t wait! Not sure exactly where I am going yet but would be cool to run into a few people from here. Likely will be going fishing at one of the trout lakes in the NW part of the state, any suggestions are appreciated.
In my younger years opening day was a much anticipated,yearly event with the excitement and preparation taking place over several weeks before that magical day. It was truly a day to enjoy. As my years passed I spent less and less time fishing on opening day. And for the past dozen or so years I don't fish but enjoy making the rounds to my old waters and watch the activity. I can appreciate the excitement, joy of others. I get a kick out of the at times frenzied efforts of someone trying to hook a fish. Sometimes its a circus to laugh at ...sometimes the crowds are down in numbers at times fishing areas are overflowing but most anglers seem to be having fun and enjoying the magic of opening day.
Though I'm 90 seconds from the Highland ramp, I'm going to McDonough. Good fishing and good ramp conditions. Not getting out till late morning though.
Have only been McDonagh once. Really not that busy on opening day you will get a parking spot no problem later in the morning? When I fished there once I did okay but no trout.
