B.O.W. Fishing opportunities offered - 4/12, 5/3, 6/7 & 6/14 With the spring fishing season almost upon us, the Minnesota Becoming An Outdoors Woman is offering both fly-fishing and traditional angling events to help women get started. Here are some dates, locations and programs to consider:
The first fly-fishing event will be a fly-fishing instruction clinic in the Twin Cities metro area, to be held at the Anoka side of the Coon Rapids Dam on April 12. This clinic, which will run from 1-4 p.m., will be hosted in cooperation with Wading Women and Anoka County Parks. The cost is $10. Registration is through the Minnesota DNR Info Center at 651-296-6157 or toll free 888-MINNDNR (646-6367).
Those who wish to take their fly-fishing skills to the stream and see if they can nab a trout can participate in a day of fishing at Lanesboro May 3. That event will be held at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center. Some of Minnesota's finest trout waters are in southeastern Minnesota. Registration for this event is through Eagle Bluff at (507) 467-2437. The cost is $50, with an additional $10 fee for those who wish to stay overnight Friday night. Participants must have a trout stamp and a current Minnesota fishing license.
BOW is also offering a guided launch angling trip on Mille Lacs Lake. The trip is limited to the first 15 registrants. All fishing equipment is furnished. The cost for the six-hour fishing trip is $50. This trip will be held June 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. out of McQuiod's Inn near Isle. Participants in this trip must have a current Minnesota fishing license.
A parent /child fishing clinic will help parents introduce their children to fishing. The June 7 clinic at the North Mississippi Regional Park in Camden will provide separate activities for children and parents, and time to fish together. Cost for the three-hour clinic is $7 per family, with a maximum of two children per adult. Those interested can register by calling the DNR Information Center at (651) 296-6157 or 1-888-MINNDNR (646-6367).
"Fishing can provide a lifetime of excitement and enjoyment," said Jean Bergerson, Minnesota BOW Program coordinator. "These events provide an opportunity to learn fishing skills and the rewards of the sport."
