Spring is akin to a great awakening in nature. Everything seems to emerge from hibernation at once, bursting back to life from a long winter waiting for warmer days. Spring also signals the beginning of our primary foraging, fishing, and hunting seasons, aside from the small amount of freezer-filling possible during the winter months. Gone is the need to tap into the reserves, as opportunities to harvest our own food begin to grow exponentially. Now don’t get me wrong, I love our long winters here in Minnesota. Ice fishing, snowshoeing, and small game hunting during the dark winter months are some of my favorite activities of the year. We’re used to being creative in the bitter cold, like drilling holes in the ice so we can keep fishing year-round. Trust me: It really is fun! But nothing beats the spring fishing opener. Over the years, I’ve spent the majority of my fishing openers in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA).
