Fishing

Jig On the Water, March 24
The water is at 62 CFS right now. This is great water to fish; it is clear and running well.

While they may be the face of the park and the object of desire for anyone with a rod and reel, anglers say when it comes to Opening Day at Roaring River State Park, it's not the fish they are necessarily after.

Kyle Troutman: The Troutman I am
For the 11th year, this week I set the earliest alarm of my life. I got up at 5 a.m. on March 1, 2014, to attend my first Opening Day at Roaring River State Park. Outside of overcoming my sleepiness, as I was not much of a morning person in those days, I was excited to cover an event I was told was a local tradition, something you can’t miss if you want to know anything about Barry County.
