To celebrate his 93rd birthday, Leo Steinbrecher, longtime Roaring River fisherman and volunteer, shot the ceremonial gun to signify the beginning of Roaring River’s Opening Day of trout season.
This year, the hatchery at Roaring River stocked the waters with 8,000 trout raised on site. Many fishermen caught their limit in the wee hours of the morning. The frenzy of fish flopping up on the shore and into nets was unavoidable for passers-by. Paul Spurgeon, hatchery manager, said that the waters were stocked based on the number of tags they anticipated would be sold. This year, they expected to sell 2,600 tags, but the day topped out at only 1,974 sold. |
