Minnesota Fishing Opener Festivities

Festivities get under today at Lake Kabetogema, south of International Falls, for this year's Minnesota Governor's Fishing Opener.

The fishing doesn't begin until the season opens tomorrow, but various community events and a picnic are set for today.

Both Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Lt. Gov. Carol Molnau are scheduled to attend, but the Governor's schedule may be in flux due to the ongoing budget talks at the Capital.
