With opening day falling on the weekend, park officials expected record turnout. But snow cover and single digit temperatures kept all but the hardiest of anglers at bay.
For this assignment, we were to take pictures of a planned news event. Going home for the weekend, I found the perfect opportunity to get pictures of something expected: great turnout at opening day of fishing season at Roaring River State Park!
On March 1st, many showed up hours early to stake out a spot by the river.
Clarice and Junior Stephens officially start trout season at Roaring River. The couple from Olathe, Kansas also were honored with the first fishing tags of the season. They have come to every trout day at Roaring River since 1974.
Beth Brown rings up a fishing tag in the park's store. An accounting technician, she drove from Jefferson City to take part in opening day.
