May 26, 2008Delayed Harvest streams offer trout 'opener'On June 1, the special regulations that have been in affect on Virginia's Delayed Harvest trout waters shift over to regular regulations. Like Trout Heritage Day, this is something of an opening day because everyone knows which streams are in the program and can feel confident those waters have some fish due the catch-and-release-only regs that have been in place since Oct. 1. Crowds can be a bit heavy the first few days but quickly thin out. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has a detailed list of the state's Delayed Harvest waters on its Web site, and the list also includes pinpoint directions for the waters. Anglers at Delayed Harvest waters need a trout license in addition to a regular fishing license through June 15. |
