EARLY FISHING OPENER?

State Senator Satveer Chadary suggested last week that moving the walleye fishing opener up a week to keep it from interfering with Mother's Day. Governor Pawlenty said on his Friday radio show that if the bill got to his desk, he's probably sign it. Pawlenty said he likes the idea as long as it didn't interfere with fish spawning and moving the opener up a week could be good for tourism in parts of the state.
