Just curious why a season we fish them here all year long in the west. You also have better waterways with natural reproducing trout and way less people after them then we do here.

Just curious why a season we fish them here all year long in the west. Many years ago when I was young, I asked a fisheries person why they closed the season on trout for a month each year, the answer was obvious once he told me- an opening day is a big deal with people buying permits and going to stand elbow to elbow just for that one day. He told me they estimated that with no Opening Day the permit sales would decline by about 60%. He further told me that same 60% would not fish more than six days on average per year and so would take very few fish out of the system. Short story Opening Day of any season is a big revenue source. They send out press releases and do short TV announcements and sell lots more permits. In our Trout Parks season opened Mar 1.

King Cuomo will probably close trout season ? Don't really care if he does. I'll still be fishing regardless
