I still love opening day, despite all the crap that surrounds it. It's more of a tradition to me than anything. I've come to the point in my life that you have to take the good with the bad, and thats with everything not just opening day. I go to a trout park mostly to watch my girlfriend catch a few fish and watch some kids and older folk who can't navigate a river bank anymore. I don't care who you are when there is a fish at the end of your line there is a smile on your face. Love seeing this. Hope opening day stays forever. Not enough traditions left anymore.
