Catch and Release

Paul recommends the “Catch, Photo and Release” strategy most anglers follow today. If you do catch a trophy fish, we can set you up with a taxidermist to have a replica made of your prize fish. If you do keep any fish, please be aware that Minnesota has specific laws regarding how many fish you can keep for each species.
