Our fishing experiences are shaped by the laws and legislation of our state. Right now the Minnesota Legislature is on the cusp of making several key decisions that will impact fishing this summer and into the future. Host Ron Hustvedt interviews outdoors lobbyist and Minnesota Conservation Federation Executive Director Gary Botzek for an update on what’s going on and how you can get involved during these closing days of the 2008 Legislative Session.

Few things are more rewarding to me than to see a young person catch their first fish through ice. I have the great opportunity to have this happen no less than a half dozen times this Saturday. I borrowed out a few of my depthfinders, and handed out a bunch of OutdoorProStore jigs, and had a blast watching kids catch fish! I got to interview a few of the young angers!!! Special Thanks to http://www.outdoorprostore.com/ for the donation of all the jigs. http://www.frankies.net/ whom donated all the bait and much much more for the event!..
