It's here!.....

....It's here....it's here!!! The day the males in this little mountain hamlet have been waiting for......the "Opening Day of Trout Season"...!!!!

And this year instead of the usual nasty rain, fog, cold, ice or snow......there's sunshine outside, the temps are expected to be in the high 50's....low 60's today.....!!!

Men and boys have been preparing for this day for weeks........checking those poles....the line.....the lures..... the canoes......the water temp and speed......picking just the right fishing hole.....you've got to be on the river early!!.......you can almost smell excitement in the air!....or was that bacon cooking...??

Swim fast little fishies......Swim fast......I'm on your side....swim fast!

  4. Lovely picture. We love trout although we've never been fortunate enough to go trout fishing. It looks like it would be a wonderful place to do it.

  7. The first day of trout seasons starts in the spring sometime here in PA. It is like a National Holiday, sort of similar to the first day of Hunting Season.

    This is funny, until a few years ago I had no idea that they stocked the streams.....I guess I thought the fish reproduced there themselves.....I was really out of that loop.
