A Certified Woman Owned Business
For the ice fishing portion of the event, we partner with RĒL Fishing, an outfitter on Lake Minnetonka. All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided, as well as a variety of fish houses, games, and other fun attractions on the frozen lake. Of course you are more than welcome to bring any of your own fishing gear, but it is absolutely not necessary.
