Fishing contests: The Fish Connection in Norwich will be holding an opening day big-trout contest with prizes for the top three biggest trout brought into the shop Saturday. Preregistration is required, so stop by to sign up if you are feeling lucky. The store will be open early, around 4:30 a.m. on Opening Day.
Mike's in Voluntown will be holding its annual opening day contest, plus an all nighter from 7 a.m. Friday through Saturday evening for the convenience of their customers. Mike's contest is judged by the length, rather than weight of the trout brought in for the contest and they usually require pre registration as well.Prizes are given to both adults and kids in two separate categories.

All the area shops stay open late Friday through late afternoon or early evening Saturday for the convenience of their customers.
Bob's Place and Boondocks both have automatic bait dispensing machines at their premises for anyone who may stop by when they are closed.
