Fishing Opener - A Minnesota Holiday!

May 9th, 2009

Today is the official start to summer as we know it.  Fishing opener - when even the governor participates every year in this event. 

Some people opt for starting their day at midnight, with a little night fishing. While others tend to be more practical and get up bright & early to get to their favorite fishing hole.  Most of my life has been spent out in a boat in the Boundary Water’s Canoe Area on opening day.  Many times, here in Ely, the weather does not cooperate with this big event.  It’s typically cold, windy, and even a snow flake or two tend to grace us with their presence. It’s the official unofficial start to summer here in the northwoods. 

Good Luck & Happy Fishing!
