About 500,000 people are expected to fish on Saturday, May 11, Minnesota’s opening day of the walleye, northern pike, bass and trout-in-lakes season in 2024.
After a weird winter with above-average temperatures and little snowfall, spring has been equally strange, proceeding in fits and starts with an abundance of wind and persistent cool temps.
