i never go out on opener for the past 5or 6 yrs!!!! way too many people who dont have the slightest clue what there doin!!! and way to many meathunters for my liking!!! i fished a spot once and down stream there was about 20guys fishin 1 pool!!!about an hr into opener 2 of them walked by me with a wheel barrel loaded with trout!!1 pushed the barrel and the other picked the fish up as they fell out!!!now i understand 20guys at 5 fish per guy is within there legal limit but just the site of it turned me off openers!!

 

i'll keep the cold months too myself just the way i like it lol

Well who says you have to fish a big stream for rainbows.....I myself go to a small creek and fish little specks with an ultra light and get over a hundred per person and lose tons more. Its fun to take someone who doesn't fish much or catch much! And there is barely anyone around!

I've never experienced a trout opener on the tribs before, so I'm sure I'll be one of the 20 guys standing around one pool....LOL. If I knew of other places to go other than the standard popular ones, I'd head off there, but alas, I'm relegated to the usual spots. I'm not complaining...I just gotta get out there and do my homework.

I happen to fish one of the busiest rivers in Ontario on the opener. More of a tradition really but even with the crowds I always enjoy myself spending time with my dad.

 

If crowds aren't your think, whip out the fly rod and sling a cone-head bugger or clouser minnow out wildly. Crowds disipate quite quickly :D

I think the best fishing will be in the next week..perfect temps, water conditions should be perfect. Opening day is just an excuse for a BBQ! LOL

Lots of places to fish where there are fewer people. The rivermouths of a lot of the major tributaries will attract both salmon and trout that are feeding on baitfish that congregate in those areas. You can get into some good numbers and variety of species as well.

 

The opener in the popular creeks is pretty hectic, you need to try to get a few fish early before they are spooked by 'deep-waders' (people who walk into pools up to their armpits trying to make drifts)

C.C fishing opener is not an excuse to have a BBQ... It is ILLEGAL to fish for trout next week, no matter what conditions may be... Please make sure to read the issued manuals before fishing any species and body of water so as to be on the safe side...

And as a matter of fact you can find lots of not so busy spots for trout... If anyone is wondering about some PM me and I will try to help you out... I am a fly fisherman so I may leave a couple of FFing only spots out but that is for the good of the trout... I always fish for trout Barbless as well and ALWAYS release them unless I am doing some sort of week-long trip...

Yup... I do read the manuals every year and check em everytime before I go out... Most water is closed at the moment except for certain exceptions in S.O. I was talking about general rules and not exceptions
