While it def was a lot of fun. and I liked the CR portion
IMO putting the entire seasons stockings at once will have negative effects.
Birds of prey are hammering the schooled up fish pretty hard.
weasels im sure are doing the same as they are much easier targets.

many guys slack off after the first few weeks of fishing ,allowing others to get some time on the water.
Im expecting larger crowds than ever on the opener.

Spreading the seasons harvest over a few months just gives better opportunity .
guys mishandling the fish these past few days also have many floating along the bottom.

I already got every pennys worth of my trout stamp this spring, so anything else is just a bonus.
