Spring has sprung is a commonly used phrase that welcomes warmer weather, blooming flowers and many other outdoor changes as we say goodbye to winter. But for those of us who dream all winter of the start of turkey season and spring trout fishing, it is the official opening of the new year of hunting and fishing opportunities. I have enjoyed opening day of trout season for the past 50 years on the beautiful Chattahoochee River in the north Georgia mountains.
