I don't believe that I ever went to the opener for any of the trout parks.

 

I did trout fish here in Maryland on the 1st in a small pond that is stocked two times in the spring (Feb and Apr) and again in Oct. By mid April it will be too thick with vegetation to fish it effectively. I fished a bigger lake further south of this one and then hit it on my way home.

Fished it like I would with the urban trout lakes in MO with Gulp eggs suspended about 12 to 14 inches above a large split shot. No finesse but catches fish. I caught five in about an hour (which most of the time was spent retying after breaking off due to bad casts in the overhanging branches).

I didn't go opening weekend, but went this past Sunday afternoon. Tons of small fish in the stream that escaped during the winter flood so you had to weed through them to get to the decent ones. They were all over the green/white rubber leg, white trout magnet and orange trout worm. My father in law fished velveeta under a float and couldn't keep the little guys away. He caught plenty of fish, but nothing worth keeping. My best four were all 14-16".
