I am writing this article under
partial duress. You see, I came
down with a bug.
The symptoms are, I’m dreaming
a lot about splashing water, tension
in my wrist and
forearms, and the
urge to willingly
wake up at an
ungodly early
hour out of my
own desire. The
only relief I have
found so far has
been occasional ;
trips to sporting RODGERS
goods
stores, a few rides to Harveys Lake
and Bowman’s Creek and some
conversation with fellow anglers.
I have been informed this bug will
go away on April 12, somewhere
about eight o’clock. I have also
found out there are about one mil-
lion other people of all ages being
affected by this same trauma. If
you haven’t caught it yet, you prob-
ably will.
It’s the dreaded “fishing bug.”
As many anglers know when the
weather breaks and the ice leaves
the lakes, the sands in the hour-
glass seem to take forever waiting
for that opening day of trout season,
which this year is April 13.
A few comments on this might be
argued by some, but I would like to
relay my thoughts, being an ardent
angler myself.
First of all, the $12.50 price of a
license. Although I do not enjoy
paying this, in comparison it’s not
bad. I know it outlasted what I
considered my fishing jeans, a few
lures and line I used, and definitely
the cases of beer and soda I would
take along occasionally on those
lazy Sunday afternoon fishing trips.
Another thing is the first day (or
week rush.) This to me is no thrill. I
can not see the shoulder to shoulder
pushing match which seems to take
place at every lake and stream in
the state.
I like to fish a stretch of stream
or shoreline in comfort not with
someone crossing my line or splash-
ing through my run. That is why I
usally sit it out or take a trip to the
river and hope the Bass are biting
(which is rare).
Although some think my style is
different, I like to feel that when my
line hits the water, I might catch
the biggest fish in the lake.
Recently talking to an angler out at
Harveys Lake, he made a comment
which I scorned. He told me of how
he caught 31, trout the first day.
-How much can one person eat? I
would say this is a little greedy plus
it’s illegal.
One more thing I do not agree on
is the Fish Commission’s stocking
policies, especially trout.
They, in my opinion should be
stocked earlier, and let the fish take
better hold. I have had too many
stockies just reel right in, and not
even try and get away. I know the
staff members of the Fish Commis-
sion are a lot more educated on
these matters than I am, but also
I'm sure there must be a better
way. After all, Pennsylvania is a
trout-oriented fishing state.
On a last note, I will be attending
a seminar, which will be held by the
Fish Commission and I will be
voicing my opinions. At this time, I
would be more than happy to voice
yours. Maybe not each one individu-
ally, but I would be happy to hear
them and maybe condense them.
If you wish, you can write to me:

Good fishing and may you all
catch your limit and not lose any
hooks.
