Only problem was the people who paid $15 a nea'd to hear Knight speak were, for a time, separated. Dy two members of the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club who were under the mistaken impression they were in charge here. Commentary JThey rambled about the Kiwanis- Fishermen ready for opening DUNCANNON (AP) Outdoor types seeking an escape from the stress of the working world face traffic jams along the road and elbow-to-elbow crowding along the banks of streams and lakes today as the trout-fishing season opens in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Fish Commission placed 2.6 million hatchery-raised trout in waterways across the state in advance of opening day. The trucks will begin rolling again Monday for a series of in-season stocking trips that will put another 3.4 million brook, brown and rainbow trout in the water.

The season officially begins at 8 a.m. The Fish Commission expects 650,000 anglers to try their luck today. "I donH think there's an untouched stream anywhere in the state on opening day," said Daniel Shields, one of the owners of Flyfisher's Paradise in Lemont, Centre County. Opening day usually brings chilly veatner and high water, and this year is no exception. ''The way water conditions are right now, it's going to be high and it's going to be a little cold," Fish Commission spokesman Dave Wolf said.

He said the formula for success under those conditions is to fish worms or other natural bait slowly and near the bottom. "Night crawlers, live minnows and salmon eggs will probably outperform everything else on opening day," Wolf said. In anticipation of the opener, anglers have been crowding into tackle shops to buy everything from a 35-cent pack of hooks to expensive rods and reels. Business was booming Thursday night at the Duncannon Sporting Goods shop in suburban Harrisburg. Among the customers was a boy about 5 years old following his dad past the displays for hooks, sinkers, spinners and other He sulked when his dad told him he didn't need any more lures, but nodded excitedly when another shopper asked if he was going fishing Saturday.

The next question did he plan to catch a big one resulted in a confident nod as he held his hands about two feet apart. There are some trout that big in Pennsylvania, but the odds are against the little fisherman being that successful. The average length of the fish stocked by the commission is 10 inches. A trout must be at least 7 inch-' es to keep, and each angler can keep as many as eight. Someof the trout stalkers, however, don't keep any fish, gently turning loose those that they hook.

Bob Clouser, owner of Clouser's Fly Shop in Royalton, Dauphin County, said more and more of his customers are following the catch-and-re-lease philosophy and a greater number of anglers are taking up fly fishing. Unlike conventional fishing, in which the fish are tempted with live bait or lures designed to look like natural food, fly fishing uses insect-like creations of yarn and animal hair to attract trout. "It's a quality-type fishing," Clouser said. Shields added, "It's just more interesting than other types of It's more of a challenge. It's also a more active way of fishing than sitting on the bank.

But the more active form required by fly fishing means it won't be widely practiced today. In many places along the streams, the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds won't leave, enough room. Regardless of how or where they, fish, anyone 16 or older needs a state fishing license. The cost for a Pennsylvania resident, including an issuing fee for the store that sells it, is $12.50.
