Went opening day every year with my Dad until I got married and worked on Saturday. Always went to a river or brook for trout, it was my Dads favorite. We tried going to Candlewood at the Danbury town park with our boat one year but after an hour of watching guys that couldn't back a trailer we dropped the boat off at home and went to the river.LOL. I really miss those days. Of course back then it was all about Trout, but now that I'm into Bass fishing there's no need for opening day.
