Notebook: Commission may open trout season early

“We're not going to buy all of our fingerlings, but we may buy the minimum number needed to meet our baseline stocking goals, just so that we have an ace in the hole”

Area anglers have a choice to make. Fish and Boat Commissioners are considering a plan to open trout season about two weeks earlier than usual in seven Western Pennsylvania counties in 2009. via PittsburghLIVE.com

LoL....
If it gets any earlier. We'll be ice
fishing !!! We have fished in the snow
several times in mid April. The colder the
water. The less they'll bite. The more I shiver!
But, I'd be there any ways !!!! Good luck all.
