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.
