I don't think I've missed an opening day in 30 years. It's a tradition for me and my friend. We go to an out of the way spot, usually catch nothing and end up at a bakery with a hot cup of coffee and a sticky bun. I love it. This year, here in Vermont, within the first few minutes I was dragging a spoon through some deep water and an enormous trout (We both guessed 22-23") rose up and inhaled it. I had it on for 1 minute and then it was gone. No broken line, just unbuttoned. We fished for another hour without a hit and then got some great coffe and spinach/feta coissants at a bakery. The spinach makes them super health food (lol). It was a great opening day.
