When was your opening day stream stocked?

Ok I hear a lot of people complaining about not seeing many fish caught on opening day on this board. I for one did not see this where I was at but the stream I fished was stocked over a month prior to opening day. I always felt that it was extremely hard to catch fish the day of a stocking and after the fish have been in the stream a few weeks that they get a lot easier to catch. I'm just wondering if these streams where people didn't have luck if it was stocked in the week or two prior to the opening day or it was almost a month or so ago? No need to mention the stream I don't want to get blasted like I did in another post.
 
Our home waters were stocked during the month of March 2,3 & 4 weeks before. Only two streams stocked the day before. the next one was the Yellow Breeches a week before.
 
The lake I fished with my daughter was stocked about 1 week before opening day. The fish were willing and able to take powerbait by opening day. A few guys were using small spoons and spinners with success as well.
