Sen Carlson Opposes Early Fish Opener

State Senator John Carlson says he will not support moving up the MN fishing opener from May 12 to May 5th.

The Bemidji Republican tells KLKS News, during the Easter break resort owners have expressed opposition to the idea. 

Carlson says every resort owner he has talked to says they just don't have time to prepare.

The State House has already attached an amendment to to the Game and Fish bill to advance the walleye opener.
