Re: who's fishing opening day ?

I typically go out to a local P&T stream late afternoon if not raining, and keep a few for the freezer. They don't make it through the warmer/hot months in this stream, so I have no concerns with keeping a few.

Re: Shad Fishing

Looks like fun, would like to give it a try. I have a 5 weight switch rod that would be perfect with fast sink poly-leader.
Just don't know where a decent area is up north that is fairly close to the road/parking and safe to wade out.

Typically two, however like Rusty will use three depending on conditions and size/depth of water.

Re: A conversation with the new Chief of Freshwater Fisheries regarding spring stocking

Covid stocking was fine, however preseason C&R should be artificial or fly, single barbless hook, and that includes lures for spin fishermen.

Now I can't fish for two weeks in the early spring...I kind of enjoyed being able to fish the stocked waters for C&R. I guess it's back to harassing wild fish during that period...

No kill stretches of stocked streams are open year round, and they hold wild trout...Just saying.

Re: Fly fishing show??

I'm going to pass this year. Don't need anything, and I never found any true bargains there either over the years. From what I saw in the 2022 vendors list, is many of the manufacturers will not be attending. I assume they are relying on their retailers to represent their products. With regard to th...

I stopped going to that one decades ago, waste of time and money IMHO.

Re: School Me on Sucker Spawn Flies

12 to 16 scud hooks with a cream colored yarn. Real sucker spawn is not a bright color.
If your looking to fish the actual spawn as a "hatch" February into March is when they spawn in the northeast streams. They spawn in riffles and trout will setup down stream to feed on loose spawn.
