I still have not trout fished in CT yet this season.My reason for being against opening day is NOT so I can catch more fish,my reasoning is that getting rid of opening day is a much better use of the resources needed to operate the trout program.More could be accomplished with less funding if opening day where abolished.

and as far as joining a club : What clubs in CT actually have ponds that trout holdover in ? Most clubs just stock little mud puddles on their property with farm raised fish and just call it a trout pond.Most if not all club ponds are a put and take fishery.
