living close to the shoreline, I'm one of those who fish for trout for a couple of weeks, waiting for the striper action to heat up. I hate the opening day crowds, so I wait a day till Sunday morning, and would be amazed at how few people are fishing. One of the problems I see with spreading the stockings out for a year round fishery is that the majority of streams they stock have very few fishable areas after June. the state stocks just about every local stream, which takes fishing pressure away from the major trout streams, which is good, but come July, any trout left would probably die from lack of oxygen in the low water that is left in these streams. I remember looking foward to opening day every year as a great outing among friends. the die hard fisherman can fish year round, thru the ice, management areas, salmon streams,and lakes and streams come April. I think we should leave it the way it is.
