Learn how to catch fish from North Shore lakes and streams in this hands-on class with local angling writer Shawn Perich. Students will receive a rod and reel outfit and a small tackle box of proven north country lures. Classroom instruction includes learning to use fishing tackle and basic fishing instruction in casting and techniques. In the afternoon, students will head to a local lake to practice what they’ve learned. 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.

You will need the following tools for this class:

We will be practicing casting outdoors, so please bring appropriate footwear and clothing to spend an hour or two outside. You will also need to purchase a Minnesota DNR fishing licence, available at many locations throughout Grand Marais. A 24 hour licence is acceptable.

If you have miscellaneous fishing tackle or equipment you have questions about, you are welcome to bring it to class.
