Thumbs up Trout Opener..... 2017! WOW!!!

Well, the big opener is almost here for those of you that wait for it all year. I myself have done plenty of Troutin' this winter and I can tell you theres currently holdovers and wild Trout out there as of right now. Not sure if they started stocking yet but man certain stretches of creeks and streams already have plenty of fish in them. Amazing how these fish can hold up in streams that barely had any water in them this past fall! Strong reluctant little Trout they are.

Anyway, myself and a few buddies are headed back to the same spot as last year. We'll be celebrating the life of my brother, Frank Viggiano!!! He loved Trout fishing as much as I do! There's just something about the running water and scenery that puts the mind, body and soul at ease. I'll be out with Frank's brother Mike V and a few other maniacs bright and early. We'll have the grill going rain or shine and always have a great time no matter what. If anyone out there is looking for somewhere to go please feel free to join my crew Saturday, April 8th for the big opener. PM, text or call for location info. This place was pretty much empty by 930 am last year. I'm in no rush to get a limit of stockie Rainbows and rush home. I'm out there to have a good time with my brothers! Plenty of room for more anglers willing to join us! Let me know gang!

On that note, WHERE ya GUYS and GIRLS HEADED???
OPENING DAY TROUT is almost HERE!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!

Thumbs up Re: Trout Opener..... 2017! WOW!!!

Was thinking of heading up and doing some trout fishing in NY that opens April 1st, but by the looks of things it's gonna be blown out ! Big snow pack melting along with predicted rainfall.
Looks like lots of rain in the forecast but I'll take that any day over bone dry rivers and streams.
Big D is flowing nice too, glad to see water for a change !

I'll be fishing the rockaway in boonton township being that I live walking distance away now. If anyone wants to join pm me. I have caught my limit plus 4 years running now. I'm also thinking of making it a marathon and bass fishing splitrock in the afternoon.

I haven't fished Opening Day or weekend for many years. Spent a lot of opening days during the past 15 years doing angler surveys for F&W, which I'll be doing again this year at Tuckahoe Lake in upper Cape May county. The following weekend I'll be on the Flatbrook in NJ and the Bushkill in Pa.

Good luck to everyone heading out on the 8th! Decent water levels for the first time in a LONG time combined with tens of thousands of fresh stockies and a LOT of fall holdovers as Eddie has proven bode very well for great success!

Tight lines gentlemen, and more importantly stay safe. River can be a dangerous place to fish.

Buddies and I usually do opening day at nomehegan. Nice easy day, no bumping for space, and just relax. Get into the wading once The crowds thin out by Monday or so
