Since I'm new to the Bemidji area - and don't have a boat right now(long story) I will try wader fishing for walleyes at the Lake Irving landing at midnight and then the Mississippi below the Winnie Dam during the opening day for walleyes - then hopefully have a fresh fish lunch and find a good place to take a nap. Good luck to everyone.

I don't think as many people fish on openner anymore. I been fishing the Brainerd lakes area for 27 yrs.

I'll be with governer on White Bear.

[Farley]

Not sure for opener, but the Wednesday after it's up to the cabin on Kabetogama untill Monday with the regular crew, 1 newbie this year though.

[shizzy]

Im staying home for opener.....

[JimBuck]

I'm staying local....I've got 3 SMALL lakes on the list and might hit 1 or all 3, depending on the bite. I can't stand the crowds on opening day anymore...

Opener was almost 2 weeks ago... for trout.

Its an annual pilgrimage I make every year. It is tough fishing those small clear streams, but so much fun to be out and walking the river valleys of SE MN.

I will be coaching in a fastpitch tournament the first 3 weekends in May. Big pond mid week after opener.

[Scott M]

URL baby!!!! We're breaking the ML tradition to be where the bite is or is supposed to be anyways...

Ely, to fish with my son that is going to VCC. He's got the hotspots where there is little pressure. He hooked up a job at one of the outfitters for the summer. He is livin the good life.

I will probably hit the Mn river until the weekend crowds settle down on area lakes.

I'll be up catchin 8lb walleyes on little johnson! then soon as we limit out on eaters which is tough to do we'll be chasin the slabs on elephant and prolly catch a few eyes there as well...

[fiskyknut]

LOTW for me.. East side somewhere's most likely. I hope it's icey like last year because that makes for some good fishing if you know where to go and you don't mind the bulk of your catch being BIG Wally's!

[CrowRiverRat83]

Outing area lakes, Roosevelt and Lawerance. The lakes are deep and a little tough to fish, but I've been going there with my buddy and his family for probably 10 years now. We usually muster up enough fish for a good time.

[LPCrowRiverFisherman]

Winsted for Northerns. Wait, where is Winsted, what am I doing at Winsted when there are so many better lakes?

Seriously there are some nice ones in there

[fishin2liv]

Mille Lacs and Farm Island

[JD guy]

A little lake called Emily that you couldn't drowned in if you fell out of the boat.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Going to the river to catch Catfish like I can do any time!
