On Black Friday, cast a line, don't stand in one

If shopping is the last thing you’d like to do on the day after Thanksgiving, you might consider going fishing instead.

State fishery officials would prefer you cast a line rather than stand in one, so they planted some bigger than usual hatchery fish in a few designated lakes to attract people to fall fishing.

The fish that were planted a few days before the holiday were bigger than the average hatchery plants in the spring. The rainbow trout should average 15 to 16 inches, said Steve Caromile, inland fisheries program manager for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“The fish are usually only 11 or 12 inches when they are planted in March and April,” Caromile said. “That gives them another six months or so to grow.”
