Nothing could be worse on opening day than standing in line on a Missouri dam and discovering that the guy next to you is wearing the same dress …err waders … that you purchased at the local fly shop the day before. Is it time for a fly fishing apparel registry?
“‘You have people coming here for years, knowing that it’s going to be crowded and that it might not be a day for serious fishing,’ [Bennett Spring State Park hatchery manager Mike Mitchell] said. ‘It’s more like opening day of baseball season.'” Tom Vaughn in The New York Times.
