A rainbow trout such as this would make any angler happy on the opening day. Mark Nale For the CDT
Trout season begins in Centre County on April 13. As I write this, the trout stream flowing past my house looks perfect besides being a bit on the cold side. The flow is good and the water is what I call “green” — just a little off-color, as opposed to being crystal clear.
Almost all of the snow is melted in the mountain hollows, and we have not received a significant rain in over a week. I have fished on well over 50 opening days, and even a week out, the weather and stream conditions for opener 2019 remain a question mark.
