Where are you going for Michigan’s walleye opener? Here are great options in the LP

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing /

Serious walleye anglers in Michigan get plenty of days in on the water well before the traditional walleye opener on the last Saturday in April in the Lower Peninsula (April 25, 2026).
The Great Lakes and connecting waters are open to year-round walleye fishing, and anglers take advantage of the opportunity. Still, others make a point of celebrating the opener on their favorite inland walleye waters.

More scouting than calling often needed for afternoon toms

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Wisconsin /

Preparing for my first turkey hunt some four decades ago, I watched several videos and attended hunting seminars, leading me to focus on strategies for morning hunts.
