Pro angler Mandy Uhrich will lead a four-hour guided fishing trip on Leech Lake August 5 – a destination well-known for outstanding walleye fishing.

“In this weekend event based out of Walker at Chase on the Lake Resort, Mandy will cover the basics of how to fish for walleye, touching on equipment selection, habitat, and tips on where and when to fish,” said Linda Bylander, coordinator of the Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “The next day, women will fish with fishing guides. Equipment, bait and instruction is provided.

The workshop begins at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5, and runs through Saturday, Aug. 6, in the afternoon. Registration is required and the fee is $285 which includes one night of lodging, breakfast, lunch, four-hour guided fishing and the fishing seminar with Uhrich.
