2005 Walleye Opener Just Days Away

For the first time in years, I'm not going to be on Leech Lake for "op'ner." Instead, I'll be stuck in California for work. In fact, it's unlikely that I'll be on the lake any time before the Fourth of July Holiday. Therefore, I'm going to have to rely on my fellow bloggers to provide updates/photos on this year's opener. To get things started, here's what Brian "Bro" Brosdahl is saying http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforksherald/2005/05/08/sports/outdoors/11593143.htm

Here's another good article (http://www.jeffsundin.com/Article_Walleye_Season_Outlook2005.htm) that talks about several Northern Minnesota lakes, including our beloved Leech Lake.

And finally, here's a more depressed look at this year's opener -- from the Walker, MN local newspaper, the Pilot-Independent -- given the damage the cormorants have done to the fishery during the past seven years, http://www.walkermn.com/placed/index.php?sect_rank=9&story_id=198110
