If you want to learn to fish in North Shore lakes and streams, we can't imagine a better way to start than this hands-on class with local outdoor writer Shawn Perich. Based out of historic Gunflint Lodge on Gunflint Lake, a lake renowned for its fishing opportunities, students will receive a rod and reel outfit and a small tackle box of proven north country lures. We’ll meet for an evening session on Friday night to cover the basics of Minnesota fishing, and then spend Saturday morning learning to use fishing tackle and practicing the basics of casting and techniques. Saturday afternoon & Sunday morning, students will head out on to Gunflint Lake to practice what they’ve learned in pursuit of the delicious inland lake trout, abundant in the spring. Upon class completion, students will be competent with a fishing rod and know enough to go fishing on their own for walleye, bass, pike and trout. Materials fee includes a full rod and reel outfit and small tackle box to take home, and access to a motor boat (and instruction from the lodge staff!) throughout the weekend. Immerse in a new-found passion in this iconic wilderness location. Different from a guided fishing weekend, this experience is designed to build your skills and confidence so that you can fish on your own all summer long.
