Personally, as hard as it is, I stay home on Opening Day. I can't put up with the one timers, the guys who come to our town park once a year before you need a park sticker, trash itand leave their garbage all over the place and have no regard for the others trying to fish around them. If I go, it's later in the day or the following day to take my son.

I would much rather see the season open year round with periodic stocking to trout parks and some other limited areas where it's known that trout won't or have difficulty holding over. The tackle shops will still make their money and they won't experience a drop off like they do every year. In fact, they may see more late fall and late winter business as people re-stock for the coming warm weather.
