opening day

[mizzouflyfisher]

I think I'm actually going down to Montauk for opening day. Actually, I'll probably spend most of the day below the park, but there are some monster trout that I saw swimming around the lake above the hatchery. It's worth paying $3 to take a shot at them. Plus, that area doesn't get fished to hard. I don't know if I have ever made it for an opening day. So, we'll see how crazy it is. The beautiful day and chance to try some new flies is much more appealing than law school. I'll let you know how it goes. If anybody reads this that is down there, I'm driving a black jeep cherokee, probably with magnetic rod rack on the hood and roof.

Some of those monster trout are monster carp...would still be fun to hook one though!

Good luck.

I found out today that most of those fish are carp. Last time I was down in Dec., it was about five o'clock with a light breeze and I still had my sunglasses on. I think the carp became trout in my imagination. What happened to all the trout in that lake. There used to be a bunch of trout with several 20+. Seems now there aren't any.

Still had a great day despite the thousands of people. Weather was just too good to pass up. Plus, the bright sun helped my touch up on some slow water sight fishing (2 midge rig, using the size 18 wd-40 as the "indicator"). This really requires absolutely no wind. I caught a lot of fish, but nothing real big. Only saw a couple of really nice fish.
