Last spotting before season opening

I did hike this afternoon because I wanted to test the new camera I got delivered this morning and obviously as we are very close to the trout season opening I also wanted to check the stream where I will fish next weekend.

I open the season on the same stream every year and I still do not have enough! Fishing this stream is not easy because many spots are really crowded, it is a very snaggy little stream but I like challenges in fishing. It would really not please to go fishing shoulder against shoulder in large rivers for rainbows introduced there one week before; this is not my idea of fishing. A stream, a trout, are to be deserved.

The water is a bit higher than the past year but I think that it will be good. Anyway I consider the opening day more like a symbol or a ritual than a full day of fishing because often the conditions are not "perfect". I generally only fish two or three hours even though the whole day near by the stream.
Like many of you I have been eagerly waiting for this day and I would not miss it even for the whole world gold.
