STEWARDSHIP AND CONSERVATION: The Great Waters Expos are the first major fly fishing shows anywhere to emphasize the vital connection between the sport of fly fishing and environmental stewardship and conservation. We believe that it is no longer enough simply to be an angler; one must adopt an active conservation ethic to preserve and protect our fly fishing waters. Programs on the Great Lakes, updates on TU’s Driftless Area stream restoration (TUDARE) and an evaluation of smallmouth bass opportunities and habitat in our home waters. Spokespersons for local, national and international conservation and fly fishing clubs — Trout Unlimited, the Smallmouth Alliance and the Federation of Fly Fishers among them — will be on hand.
LIVING RIVER BUG EXHIBIT. Entomologist and award-winning photographer Dean Hansen will be featured in an expanded setting. His live bug show and living stream exhibit are flat-out remarkable.
BEGINNERS. The Great Waters Expo will feature Fly Fishing Classes for Beginners. Newcomers to fly fishing can learn fly fishing basics from veteran anglers. All Expo programming will be beginner-friendly and free. No pre-registration.
Saturday, May 9 was Minnesota's Fishing Opener - we had snow, rain and wind! It sounds like if you could have withstanded Mother Nature that she did reward you with fish. We heard that people were limiting out with walleyes on Basswood & White Iron Chain of Lakes.
