April 1 is a popular holiday to pull pranks on friends. It is a chance to laugh at ourselves and each other without causing harm. But for anglers, April 1 is a time to stop fooling around and get serious about their sport.

April 1 marks the opening day for landlocked salmon lakes in New Hampshire. April 1 marks the opening day of salmonid fishing in Maine. April 1 is the day that anglers hit the water in pursuit of their favorite coldwater game fish.
