Avalon,

As a realitively local person to you, I couldn't agree more. Many of our brethren anglers quit after most of the dumb stockers have been taken out and never seek alternatives.

I was glad to see opening day come early this year because most anglers will quit even earlier than usual.

For panfish and bass, there are plenty of small to medium size streams in our area that see almost no fishing, and then you have the Susquehanna....no problem avoiding crowds there either.

I guess when I think about it, this ain't a bad area to live in
