Ice causing problems at public water accesses; not all will be ready in time for fishing opener
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Trails and Waterways crews are working feverishly to prepare nearly 2,000 DNR public water accesses for the May10 fishing opener. However, due to excessive winter ice damage and the late ice out in the northern half of the state, it is unlikely they will fully meet their goal.

Anglers should check access conditions before heading north
Ice-out is about 10 days behind last year but frozen lakes in the southern two-thirds of Minnesota should do little to hamper anglers heading out for the statewide walleye opener on Saturday, May 10.
?Frozen lakes, particularly the bigger and deeper ones in the northern third of the state, remain a question,? said Ron Payer, fisheries section chief for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). ?But spring weather should take care of lakes in the central and southern parts of the state.?
Temperatures in the northern third of the state are expected to hover between 40 and 50 degrees most of the week. Fisheries managers expect some of the bigger and deeper lakes to retain at least some ice.
Regardless of the weather, Payer said, anglers heading up north should call ahead to find if lakes are open and boat ramps are accessible. Late, heavy snowfalls and later ice-outs may have prevented work on public accesses and some roads still may be excessively muddy.
