Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - March/April 2020 - 39
A large crowd, mainly kids, on a stocked pond on opening day.
with rowboats and canoes often head for a deep channel
where trout sometimes congregate after being stocked. In
addition, anglers can use their watercraft to fish some of
the more isolated areas of the lake that bankside anglers
cannot reach.
Bank anglers have smaller ponds mostly to themselves,
though conditions are often crowded. I have spent several
recent opening days on a small, popular Blair County
pond. For the most part, adults are there accompanying
children, so the kids can experience an exciting opening
day. At 8:00 a.m., hundreds of lines are cast into the pond,
and many of the baits and lures are grabbed by hungry
trout. The interaction between kids and their parents help
make this pond one of my favorite opening day locations
each spring.
A remote wild trout stream that some anglers favor
when seeking opening day solitude.

Most of the baits that stream anglers use can be effective
in stocked ponds and lakes.
Another opening day option is to fish a wild trout stream.
Many of these streams are remote mountain brooks and runs,
which are the homes of our state fish, the Brook Trout. Anglers
who cherish solitude when fishing may choose to visit these
streams on the regular opening day of trout. The use of live bait,
such as a small earthworm, may tempt Brook Trout. However,
many of these wild trout enthusiasts will toss small spinners or
cast artificial nymphs or even dry flies in their efforts to deceive
wild trout. When they land a wild Brook Trout, most of these
anglers briefly pause to admire its explosion of colors before
releasing it.
The opening days of trout season are truly special days on an
angler's calendar.
Anglers are drawn to wild trout streams on opening day in search of wild
Brook Trout.
