Today is the opening day of the Minnesota fishing season.

5/12/12 – Today is the opening day of the Minnesota fishing season. I wouldn’t say that it is busy here, but there are more people around than we’ve been seeing in the last few weeks.
The unusual thing about this opening day is that it’s a beautiful day. Traditionally, the opening of fishing is wet, cold and windy. There is a bit of a breeze today but the temperature is in the high 60s and there isn’t a cloud in the sky.
Sawbill crew members, Luke, Tyler and Leif, hit the water early this morning and made their way to Smoke Lake. Luke caught one large smallmouth bass, which he released. No walleyes were enticed to nibble. Earlier in the week, Luke and Tyler tried their hand at brook trout fishing, but had no luck with that either. – Bill
