Fishing Class For MN Women

DNR NEWS – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                     March 30, 2015
Women can learn how to catch bass, muskie from a pro
Women who want to take their fishing beyond the basics can learn from pro angler Mandy Uhrich in a class called Learn to Sport Fish, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 11, at Cabela’s in Rogers.
“This class for women, taught by women, is a great way to learn how to catch more than panfish this year,” said Linda Bylander, coordinator of the Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “We’ll focus on techniques and gear selection for bass, muskellunge and other gamefish.”
The class is free and registration is requested. Women who attend have the opportunity to register for a guided bass fishing trip in the Brainerd lakes area, or a guided muskie fishing trip in the Twin Cities metro area. Those trips are in mid- to late summer, and women must attend the April 11 class to register for the guided trips.
To register for the April 11 class or for more information, contact Linda Bylander at 218-833-8628,linda.bylander@state.mn.us. For more information on BOW, see www.mndnr.gov/bow.
