Well, ready or not, here it comes: the 42nd annual Walleye Opener. It’s one of those special happenings, you know an event that brings people together year after year after year. In 2023, nearly 2,000 anglers entered the walleye contest vying for the chance to catch one of the tagged walleyes. Part of the proceeds from those entries helped fund various projects directly related to angling in the Iowa Great Lakes area.
