[Cast1] Opening Day

About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of Opening Day for anglers and offers tips for fly fishers.

Opening Day. For generations, this was a high holiday among anglers. With the success of resource management programs and special regulations, year-round fishing is available for most of us. Still, there are some reasons to circle a particular date on the calendar. In this Cast1 episode, I walk through some of the reasons why opening day should still be held in high regard. I also list a few things new (and seasoned) fly fishers should pay attention to before they hit the water and a couple of things they should be thinking about when they encounter spring conditions. Regardless of if you're just getting into fly fishing or you can remember "when opening day meant something," you'll find something in this episode to enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.
