Will Minnesota’s 2025 fishing opener be all we desire? Conditions look promising

Could the conditions be better for a Minnesota fishing opener than what’s forecasted for 2025? Not likely! And while sunshine and still waters might not be ideal for walleye fishing, the fine weather certainly might keep anglers out and after the fish for more of the day and weekend. (Stock photo)

The folks at Blue Ribbon Bait and Tackle in Oakdale likely already have had a glimpse of how this Saturday’s Minnesota fishing opener could play out. A week ago, many patrons of the northeast Twin Cities metro bait shop skipped across the border to take part in Wisconsin’s walleye season opener.
The weather was ideal – possibly too nice for the salty walleye angler who might prefer some wind, clouds, and slightly cooler weather to kickoff the season. But alas, it was downright summer-like, and it brought out the fishing masses.
