Why so much butthurt over surprise opener ?

Seriously thou, since "lockdown" I been reading some of the comments on the fish commission page on Facebook, freeking gold especially from the stock truck tailgaters 😂

PS We should have surprise openers every year

PSS Remember they are just dumfezh...

There are a lot of reasons that people are ticked off. Yes, there are some guys that want to catch the biggest dumbest of the trout they stocked and hitting it hard opening day is the only way they know how. They don't want to work for anything and get their full $8 investment worth. Could be the same guys that stand around a hole all day throwing everything but bullets at the one orange fish. 
 
Now in all seriousness, they was a lot going on to get people riled up. We are all on edge and stressed anyways so anything on top of that is just worse. First, was the lack of regulation enforcement which just allowed poaching for weeks up until that shotgun start. If you are a regulation follower, you got sloppy seconds many days in. Then there was poor distribution of the stocked fish, basically everything was dumped in one or two holes where the truck can get close. With no volunteers allowed, it was up to mother nature to distribute the fish. There was also supposed to be more larger fish stocked this year and more golden creamsicles. If that happened in this area of the state, there is no evidence of it on social media or apps like fish brain (didn't happen or poaching). Then On top of that, a weekday shotgun start screwed the essential workers and people working their 40+ from home. People couldn't get out until Saturday or Sunday after hearing that they might make more money on unemployment and when they finally get to show up, all they find is trashed spots that have been fished for weeks.
 
Finally, and really the one I'm personally bothered by, is that the kids got screwed this year if they wanted until opening day or that weekend. Grown****men in waders crowding holes/spots 5 feet off the parking lot with two palermineos that the kids should have been given first chances at. If your'e geared up to go wading and you choose to spend 3 hours on the first evening hovering over a spot right by your car and dad's with kids are made to walk up/down the creek trying to find a straggler, your'e a special piece of ****. 
 
There are probably more things to worry about but these are the ones I've seen across all the interwebs and most of them have a point for discussion. Yeah, with this virus we have bigger things to worry about but it's salt in the wound for a lot of people that followed the rules. 

Some of the comments on the fish com. Site got me cracking up so many people crying about the fish and can care less that they can die from a virus. I rather have the waterways open so I Can fish for other fish and not get bothered by anyone. I wish they would do away with this invasive trout crap. The only thing that’s good about it is for teaching kids how to fish.

I helped stock several streams in beaver and Lawrence county before the cutoff, and there was no shortage of nice fish, opening day was absolutely great and for days after we have been catching fish, we are still catching fish as   of yesterday, I wish they would do the SURPRISE  OPENING every year ! If more guys would throw more back they could extend their trout fishing quite a bit. anyways liked the opening day this year.

Only thing I’m peaved abahht was no kids day before the masses were allowed in. This did very little if anything to prevent crowds, of that I am sure. What it DID prevent was many kids from getting first crack at unmolested trahht. Normal place I take my kids to had dozens of fish in each hole last year. This year it was picked clean.
It’s just another indication that our govt had absolutely no idea how to handle all this.
And please spare me the “if it saves a life.” stuff. This virus doesn’t even affect kids, and is overblown in general. 55 deaths in Allegheny county with 1.2 million people!! Numbers don’t lie!

What is a trahht ?
Enquiring minds want to know.

I believe that is yinzer or mupeer speak for trout.

BTDT, looks like you corrected something that didn't need corrected, but we can't expect you to at least do some research on advertising history!
Geez, you can't even criticize correctly.
Check first, type later!
 
The well known ad slogan for The National Enquirer supermarket tabloid – “Enquiring minds want to know” – passed that point long ago. The Enquirer trademarked the slogan in 1981. And, according to the information filed in the U.S. trademark database, it was first used by the gossipy tabloid on October 20, 1981.

😅🤣🤗

CYA on that one.... what took you so long.

Need MyLiar to help ya research the internet to save face... did ya?

The MyWar comment was meant to be a slam at you, and you fell for it in true TROLL fashion - MyWar has nothing in this.
 
As for taking so long for a "CYA" - I see it took you all of about 15 minutes to insert your feeble TROLL reply.
 
We look in on these pathetic threads maybe twice a day, we have real lives to live and don't reside on here like the TROLL that you are, we find more lame humor in the rubbish that you post that it serves as the daily laugh.
 
You have over 10 thousand posts listed and very few of them make any sense.
 
Here's an internet challenge for you - can you let two hours pass before making a comment on this (or any thread)??? - bet NOT...since your keyboard is your favorite toy.
 
 
 
 

You just don't get it, do you?

and fisherofmen it probably wasn't that the spots where picked clean , it was probably because they didn't get fish in the first place because we [ as in volunteers ]  didn't carry  buckets so your children could catch unmolested fish In those holes, after the help cutoff, most fish where at the bridges, and you hear the gripes from other people that the youth days take too many fish out of their holes, no matter what you do there is always someone complaining. there is still plenty of fish out there, we are still catching fish and its two weeks into the season

Bubbaman in general you are prolly right...
But in my specific case i know for sure that 1.  the stream was stocked and 2.  A bunch of dudes came in and picked it clean.  i saw  10 cars in a spot thats made for 1-2 guys TOTAL!!! 3.  I got there with one of my sons the next day and it was barren.  Its a small stream that really doesn't even deserve trout lol.  Its just a fun place for the kids to fish.  
Regarding duuds complaining that the kids fished it ahht...come on...it's one day and the limit is only like 2.  Shouldn't we err on the side of the next generation having some fun slamming feesh and not having to worry about a million guys hovering near them?  
And as I said, yes i know theres other places to catch em.  Ive taken the kids in the past 2 weeks and we've done that.  Just sumn pretty cool about having a day that's just for them.  I didn't even fish for youth opener...I was running back and forth helping them get fish unhooked and released!  It was an unforgettable day that they talked about all year.  
Maybe next year...
