If you ask the average person what today is they will probably say it is All Fools Day and warn you not to walk under any ladders or see any black cats. But my late friend Jim C. knew it to be opening day of the trout fishing season. In the old Abercrombie & Fitch flagship store in Manhattan they had a fly casting pond on the roof where my friend would frequent and practice. Another sportsman who could be seen there when in town was Ted Williams, the great Red Sox slugger who loved fishing more than baseball. With many streams still snow packed the trout may be late for opening day.
