RE: openig day
yah a reservoir that ive been dieing to get to is opening up on Sun and it produces lots of big rainbows so im hopin to get a couple on the fly rod and the spin rod since i hear sometimes they prefer the spoons some days over the flies but i know on average a guy will catch 20+ rainbows over 17" in a day so im really pumped.
Just curious but what type of trout are you after childers??

Good luck to both of you. Where I fish in southern wisconsin it is only open to pan fish and non-sport fish right now. So I will be out in about 4 hours searching for crappie!

RE: openig day
Good luck to all...
Sunday, April 1 is opening day for the general trout season...I'll be fishing a couple of local, unstocked tributaries for wild brown trout...
I have heard that the Finger Lake tribs are loaded with spawning rainbows this year, but I avoid them because I don't like the crowds...I prefer fishing secluded streams where I seldom see another fisherman, even though the trout may be smaller...Can't stand the elbow to elbow " combat fishing".........

RE: openig day
I had a nice morning on the creeks....
Landed 5 browns...14 "....17 "...18 "...18 1/2 "....19 3/4 "...
I also rolled a couple of other nice browns in the same size range... No brookies today.... All of my fish were caught on UL spinning gear with crawlers and 6 lb. test... Fish that size strip drag pretty good on UL spin gear...
I'd like to fish the next couple of mornings, but I have family obligations...
Perhaps I'll get out again later next week..

Well, I never made it out and I am hoping Thursday or Friday we get a break in the weather up here so I can get my canoe out. I plan on taking it to a large stream way back where there is some nice brookies. It is a early place for fishing and the trout get big for as far as brook fishing goes. It has been snowing up here again and we are supposed to get snow and rain all week![:@]
