Kyle Bates of Mechanic Falls fishes open water Tuesday on Lake Auburn. If opening day of the open-water fishing season had not fallen on Easter, Bates said Sunday would have been his first day out. He said he grew up fishing Lake Auburn with his dad. “I don’t know why I am trying it again,” Bates said. “I don’t remember catching anything.” (Daryn Slover/Sun Journal)
