I am fortunate to live a few hundred feet from a nice little stream east of Toronto so leave the truck keys at home..
Opening day on My local stream started with little of the usual fanfare of cars lined up at the bridge and circus clowns splashing through the stream ( which I usually avoid like the plague). One lonely car parked on the side this day, and only the sounds of birds and water over rocks. I passed only 3 or 4 other anglers the whole day.
Fish had been thick the previous week and I think cold temps had kept them upstream. ...
