As well as being the meeting point of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers, Minneapolis has plenty of other strong angling options. Explore the “Chain of Lakes” that surround the city, not to mention the vast bodies of water just a few miles out of town. You won’t know what’s hit you! Join one of the numerous Minneapolis fishing guides and discover the incredible angling opportunities on offer in this great city.
Fishing in Minneapolis is pretty much a “whos-who” of the country’s favorite freshwater fish. From small Crappie and Sunfish, to delicious Perch, all the way up to tough-fighting Bass, Walleye, and Musky, there’s something for everyone. Come year-round and get your hands on these prized creatures, and you’re sure to head home with a treat.
No matter when you visit, Minneapolis fishing guides will have something for you. Choose from a half day trip at whatever time of day suits you, or spend the full day on the water practicing your skills. When winter hits, a guide will be waiting to take you out on the ice for anywhere from 4–8 hours, with all the equipment provided.
Hit up the rivers in the city, or explore the backcountry of the Mississippi in the east of the city, and you can cast from shore, aboard a boat, or in a kayak. Hop aboard a charter to explore the lakes in the city and Lake Minnesota, or spend your trip in an ice hut during winter. With so much on offer, there’s no reason for you to miss out on the incredible fishing on offer in Minneapolis!
