I once wrote an article for Heading Out- a mag from years past about how special opening day was and is. I am 55 years young and although I can fish year round, I still look forward to going- even just to watch and to visit a fisherman's breakfast or 2. Opening Day is for the young and for the young at heart. It is good for business and it is (maybe) the one day a year, that some Dads and Moms take their
kid(s) out into the outdoors and fresh air. They already spend enough time in front of the computer and TV.I may be in the minority but I kind of like hanging around a tackle shop or two /vising the heart stopping breakfasts and just maybe,catching a trout or 2. I hope they never ever stop this tradition.
