In addition to guided fishing, I also offer a variety of guided activities in Minneapolis and the West Metro. My goal is to take the guesswork out and create an experience that fits your goals and schedule. From peaceful mornings on Bde Maka Ska to relaxed evening walks through the Roberts Bird Sanctuary on Lake Harriet, you can simply show up and enjoy. 

​

When winter arrives, I embrace the magic of frozen lakes with on-the-ice gatherings and experiences. Minneapolis lakes become winter playgrounds featuring warm bonfires, crackling s’mores, snowshoeing, and wide-open skies perfect for kite flying or stargazing. We might play icehole—a playful winter twist on cornhole—then warm up by the fire with hot cocoa, laughter, and star-filled skies overhead. 

​

Additionally, if you've ever wanted to go camping but don't know where to start, I can teach you the basic skills and some of the best practices. It's not always easy out in the woods- weather, putting up a tent, food choices, etc..  I can help you avoid some common pitfalls that new campers make when headed into the woods for a couple nights of camping.

​

Whether you’re planning a unique family outing, a memorable date night, or a one-of-a-kind group experience, the MPLS lakes area offers something special. These gatherings invite play, reflection, and connection—and often change how people see the outdoor all together.
