i missed the opener for the first time in years, i expect it to be a circus, but enjoy the day out anyway. it was more about BSing with my friends who cant get out as much anymore. Opening day was the one day their wives couldn't deny them, even though it isn't the greatest. but, its the start of the season, and if you expect the worst, you have a great time.
its just like first day of 6 day, pheasant stocking days, or first week of turkey. at least they have fishing rods and not guns. i feel safer! haha
 
I love the "river runs through it" crowd....All decked out in LL Bean, Orvis & Loomis...$200 hand made nets $400 simms waders 200 polarized glasses... and Everyone of them is outfished by a kid with a Abu Garcia rod & reel, a bunch of rooster tails and a cup of meal worms
LOL...as an exclusive fly angler (my husband too), we make fun of them as well! It is supposed to be about enjoying fishing and the outdoors, not how good you look. We even do a lecture about how you don't have to spend the mortgage payment to fly fish.
 
what did you expect? I mean really, I have been fishing forever and i never go on opening day.

The last time i went i think I was 14 (40 now) and some guys were doing coke (not the refreshment)on the stream (big flatbrook), bunch of idiots out there on that day and i don't want any part of it....
