I would rather take up body piercing with #4 SW circle Shark hooks...

or wait until the day after opening day..

Tell me: Did some security firm spill a few sacks of Currency worth millions into the river?

Claustrophobia springs to mind. Makes me appreciate what we have in New Zealand. Jax

Seems like a perfect place to try out my RC boat and run it right down the middle engine on full eh??

No seriously though... Wow I don't think I'd ever be interested in that. Reminds me of the times i was a little kid and tagged along with my parents to the camping/boat show and could fish the water tank for trout. Heh

Looks like the Loyalhanna here in Pennsylvania. With the licenses on their hats, I'd bet it is in Pennsylvania, anyway. I recognize the dam too. Do other states make you wear your license exposed so the fish commission can check you with binoculars?

yeh. California does. also makes you do their research for them by filling out punchcards for Steelhead and Salmon.

Folks that is March 1st at the opening whistle of the keep season at Bennett Spring state park. I fish there in the winter during C&R and it is nowhere near that crowded. Its not usually that crowded about 2 hours after the whistle.

It is! It is!! Good ole Bennett Spring!! Ahhh ... opening day in the Trout parks!! We fish Bennett, NOT however on opening day ... catch and release winter fishing is pretty good, but even off times fishing can be elbow to elbow. Shows you why I like South Dakota and Wyoming!!

My word!! They look like little tin soldiers, all in perfect little rows, evenly spaced! Going into battle with the trout. They must have an agreed upon protocol that makes this work. What happens when a couple of fish get caught at the same time? Make a Zweber wind knot look like a neatly rolled ball of twine! (Sorry Z, couldn't resist!)

Whistle ?? Did the man say "whistle" ??

[Betty Hiner]

Yes, John ... a whistle. A big, honkin' whistle, like a noon whistle at a production plant!!! It blows at starting time (varies by season), and again at the end of the day (again varies by season). Woe be unto you if you are caught fishing before or after the whistle!!!!

[Martin McFly]

Imagine catching a running carp in there!!!
