Opening day casts on Current River headwaters
Join anglers at Montauk as the season begins at 6:30 a.m., with cool spring water, easy riverside trails, and picnic spots.
Event details
Montauk sits at the headwaters of the Current River, and Trout Opening Day is when the park’s quiet valley turns festive. Families line the banks for the 6:30 a.m. start, then settle into a rhythm of casting, coaching kids through their first hookset, and warming hands between bites.
When the fishing slows, trade rods for a walk around the park, grab lunch at the lodge, and keep an eye out for early wildflowers along the water. Tags and permits are required, so plan a quick stop at the park store first.
