Charleston opener

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

The only crowds you'll see is at the boat launch if you don't get there early enough :lol:

There won't be too many boats out cause a lot of people think that there's no trout in there but they're wrong.
More people seem to head up to the Big Rideau for a better chance to get bigger fish

Use the launch at the end of Water street. It's generally much quieter there and a great launch out of the wind.

Thanks guys, I'll likely be going out solo so I will just go early and hope for time and space at the launch

I'm there every year, last year was the first year I actually noticed an increase in boat traffic specifically fishing trout. Lots of boats in big waters. Get there early enough and the launch is usually not busy. Leaving I usually try to hit the launch around lunch, I find most of the joy riding boats have gone out by then and it's slightly less busy. Good luck!
