Minnesota Fishing Opener Tradition

The Minnesota Fishing Opener is a time-honored tradition in the state, marking the beginning of the fishing season and the start of warmer weather. The Fishing Opener typically takes place on the Saturday two weeks prior to Memorial Day weekend.

Many Minnesotans celebrate the Fishing Opener by gathering with friends and family to fish, often at a favorite lake or fishing spot. The tradition includes waking up early to get on the water before sunrise, enjoying a hearty breakfast or brunch, and spending the day fishing.

In some communities, there are Fishing Opener festivals or events, including fishing contests, parades, and other outdoor activities. It's also common for local businesses, such as bait and tackle shops, restaurants, and resorts, to offer specials and promotions during the Fishing Opener weekend.

Overall, the Minnesota Fishing Opener is a cherished tradition for many Minnesotans, representing the start of summer and the chance to enjoy the state's beautiful lakes and outdoor scenery.

This Year I will be in Knife Lake just 50 miles north of the cities. Good luck and Tight Lines!
