The Minnesota Fishing Opener marks the true start of lake season—and there’s no better place to experience it than Pleasant Lake. As the ice disappears and spring takes hold, anglers return to the water for one of the most anticipated weekends of the year.
At Twin Springs Resort, opener weekend is all about tradition, fresh air, and that first cast of the season.

A Time-Honored Tradition

For many, the opener is more than fishing—it’s an annual ritual. Early mornings, quiet water, and time spent with friends and family make it a weekend people look forward to all year.

Prime Fishing Conditions

Spring offers some of the best fishing of the season:
• Fish move into shallow, easy-to-reach waters
• Cooler weather makes for comfortable days
• Less pressure than peak summer months
• Great opportunities for walleye, northern pike, and panfish

Excitement Without the Crowds

Opening weekend brings energy to the lake, but there’s still plenty of room to enjoy the quiet. Stay a little longer and you’ll find even calmer waters and a slower pace.

More Than Fishing

Between casts, enjoy peaceful mornings by the lake, spring wildlife, and relaxing evenings back at the resort. It’s the perfect balance of activity and downtime.

What You Can Catch

Pleasant Lake spans more than 1,000 acres, with depths reaching over 70 feet. The lake is home to a variety of fish, including walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, bluegill, and other panfish.
