Brule always opens first, which I like cause its not too far of a drive from Marquette, and opening day is always free. Ive gone every opening day in the past 3 years ive lived in marquette.. and i plan on making this year the fourth.

Brule will be first followed by Wild but keep an eye on Sunburst, they trippled their pumphouse power and they've increased the aeration in their ponds to cool the water temp.  It's one thing to be 28 outside but if the water in the pond is still 40 you've got issues, aeration helps cool the water temp considerably.  If Sunburst was further north I would give them the nod this year.  My guess, all these places will open on Thursday Nov 13, Brule opening at 9 am will get the claim, while Sunburst will wait until 4
