Gov. Tim Walz throws first fishing opener on tribal lands

The Leech Lake Band stepped in to revive the annual event, as they showcased Cass Lake, Lake Winnibigoshish

Just after dawn Saturday on the calm shores of Lake Winnibigoshish, Faron Jackson Sr., gently placed a small offering of tobacco in the water.

Jackson, the chair of Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, quietly asked the creator for safety and to share fish with them as the 74th Governor's Fishing Opener got underway.

"Ogaa ombe omaa noogom," he said, meaning "Walleye come to us today."
