FishnDave Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Heck yeah! I LOVE people that ONLY fish on Opening Day! 😁 T.J. Clarke, Daryk Campbell Sr and ollie 3
Quillback Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 I drove through there about 6 AM on my way to Table Rock. The parking lot at the admin bldg. was packed, vehicles on the road waiting to get in, vehicles lined up to get out. Might have been a news truck parked there too, but I couldn't look around too much. Campground looked to be full. Hope everyone there had fun. Terrierman and Daryk Campbell Sr 2
bfishn Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Sounds like 1800+ today. Here's a cool story from a RR 0day veteran. https://www.cassville-democrat.com/2023/03/01/trout-opening-shines-light-on-veterans/ ness 1 I can't dance like I used to.
Ryan Miloshewski Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 I've been to one. That was enough. It is a cool atmosphere and environment. Much more of a draw than the fishing aspect, at least for me. Akin to opening day of rifle season for deer, which a lot of people only hunt those first two days every year. Fun tradition here in MO. ness, Flysmallie and Daryk Campbell Sr 3 “To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”--Aldo Leopold

You will never find me there on opening day with a rod in my hand. I have considered attending one just to photograph the chaos. I bet I could come up with some hilarious images. BilletHead 1

When I went over the bridge I saw someone out in the river with a headlight and I assumed they were etting there to claim the spot, then read in that article that people were getting out there at 1 AM to get their spot. It is an event for sure. ness and bfishn 2
ollie Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 I know someone who comes down from KC every year and they stay the night before and party it up and I highly doubt they even go to bed. He told me to get his favorite spot he needed to get there by 4-5 before they sound the siren. Brags big time when they catch one over 18". Then again, he is one of those that only go like once or twice a year. Typical of most folk down there I'm sure.
