This year marks the 61st Minnesota Governor’s Fishing Opener.  This is the first year that the opener will be held in the Twin Cities metro area.  It’s being held in White Bear Lake.   The fun kicks off on Friday May 8 with a golf event at Dellwood Hills Golf Club, a kid’s DNR Aqua Activity at Lion’s Park, and a sport shooting event at Bald Eagle’s Sportsman.  The big day is Saturday’s fishing event.  There’s also a shoreline lunch at Tally’s Dockside and a big bash at The Boat Works that evening.  For more information see the MN Governor’s Fishing Opener Website.
