Bill Hilts, Jr.: New York’s inland trout opener still holds meaning, but much has changed in 60 years
Von Ryan’s Express was a 1965 World War II adventure film starring Frank Sinatra. He played Colonel Joseph Ryan, and I was captivated by the film for several reasons.
One, it was the first film that I ever saw in the theatre. Second, it was the opening day of New York’s inland trout season, and it started raining so hard that this was our backup plan. I was 9 years old, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Opening days have that kind of an impression on you, filling your memory banks of years gone by.

The bill is directed specifically at conservation officers for these changes, not county sheriffs’ deputies or local law enforcement.
