Something that I haven't seen written here at all, and I wonder about is just how many places have been posted and are inaccessible because of the mess the scumbag fishers leave behind in the first couple of weeks of the trout season? I don't think it's an insignificant amount. A few "bad" fishermen can spoil it for everybody.
Opening day is a tradition for many and it can be exciting, especially after a long and cold winter, but there is a price to pay for it. The meat fisherman come out in force, take all the fish they can hook and leave behind beer cans and garbage. Which doesn't make the rest of the fishing public look too damn good!
