Tomorrow is opening day for trout fishing in the state and environmental officials are telling anglers to use caution.
Opening day of trout season is one of the biggest recreational fishing days of the year, according to the state Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.

But anglers can still get their catch of rainbow and brown trout. The DEM has almost 60 stocked ponds from which the expected 20,000 opening day from which participants can choose.
A full list of locations is listed on the DEM’s website.
