ST. PAUL, Minn. — The 2024 Governor’s Fishing Opener will be May 11 in Lake City, the office of Governor Tim Walz announced. This 76th annual celebration will be on Lake Pepin. The opener is May 11. This past spring the rotating site for the event was Mankato. Because the governor’s daughter’s graduation was the same day, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan did the inaugural cast.
