The Governor took part in an opening day launch ceremony and learning session with some 5th graders before heading out to fish and then joined anglers for a shore lunch. Lieutenant Governor Flanagan hosted a women's fishing event and visited Frontenac State Park along with visiting small businesses in the Lake City area.
The Governor says Minnesota's fishing opener is a special and exciting day for thousands and one of his favorite days of the year. The Governor's Fishing Opener has been a tradition since 1948 and is designed to help promote the fishing industry in Minnesota.
