CO Darrin Kittelson (International Falls) reports fishing opener fairly uneventful on Lake Kabetogama and Rainy River. Weather conditions were favorable except for wind making it difficult to control boats. Invasive species checks at access points were received well, except complaints of rules and requirements changing constantly making it confusing. Most people understand and want to comply. Nuisance bear complaint was handled in Int’l Falls. Enforcement action was taken for transporting boat with drain plug in, state campground violations, extra lines, and ATV violations.
