I understand how pissed Eskimo is - I remember him saying same last year.

Are we just schmucks for following rules?

Thank you for that link.
It says this:

During the three weeks prior to opening day, all ponds, lakes or sections of streams are stocked
with trout, except Trophy Trout Lakes. These waters are closed to fishing for all species from March 16 to April 4 at 8 a.m.

I went to Seeley's Pond last night with a bat to teach some people about the law but there was nobody there.

It's a sad state of our society that this is probably the most effective way to teach people of all races, colors, and creeds the rules...
