Rick Lorson Fish Quotations

We don't want to move away from opening day because we've found that 10 times the number of people fish opening day than any other time of year.

I think, overall, the fishing is pretty good. But they're not as easy to catch as the pike are.

On our waters in the southwest, we can expect good fishing up to Memorial Day, whereas in the southeast, it's usually only good to the middle of May.

It was a good move, considering bass are structure oriented and bait fish wind up around bridge piers. Also, shade comes into play, and flow takes place there.

All we need is a couple of pre-spawn fish over 12 inches. We've had difficulty getting them from other sources.

With fewer trout to stock, everything will be less. We'll need to do a better job with the waters we have. We have to look at the best opportunities for using fish and getting them to where anglers are.
