The reason we need a opening day. It gives everybody an equal chance of catching a trout. If there was no opening day, just like rest of the stocking this year. The ones that follow the stocking trucks and there buddies who they call on there cell phones will wipe out the entire stream or catch all the bigger fish and leave the little ones for the people who have only one day to fish. I didn't see anybody asking to do away with opening day of hunting season. That even worse than a trout stocking. They post themselves at the state leased land and when the truck pulls up their hunting buddies are just a phone call away. Talk about trash we fished alittle stream near my house in Oxford that has one or two good size hole. When one of the kids cast across the stream to the other side and got caugth on some branches, my son crossed over and what did you think he found, bait containers and we were there from 530 and there was nobody fishing on that side, the containers were in good shape where they didnot spend the winter there. To me this year the state did a damn good job of stocking. The fish were a lot bigger and the ones we caugth were all above the legal sizes to keep. Please do not say they are all senior. Just go to the farmington's church pool on any given day of the week an see the age of the people fishing there. Thats all I'm going to say about this.(Forest Gump)
