Lake of the Woods Fishing Trip with Fish Addictions

On a snowy, late December Saturday, seven Her Wilderness members made the trek up to Lake of the Woods in Minnesota to spend two days ice fishing with Fish Addictions, a television show that airs on Fox Sports North. No snowy roads could stop them from having a successful weekend targeting walleye among other species.

Among arrival, the women went straight out to the ice houses where over the course of the weekend, they were able to catch over 30 fish. Members of the Fish Addictions team were able to bring resources that helped our members to target and catch the walleye.

“I really appreciate the opportunity to learn so much no only about walleye fishing, but the technology that has been created to assist in finding these fish,” said Her Wilderness Member, Haleigh Alm “Getting to use technology, lures, and new techniques I haven’t used before was so neat, especially when it paid off with a nice fish on your hook!”

Following the fishing, the Fish Addictions team took the time to teach the members how to clean as well as prepare the fish that they caught.

“Fish Addictions helped us clean as well as cook the fish that we caught, along with some yummy sides,” said Her Wilderness Founder MacKenzie Kroll “We even caught an eelpout and were able to all try that for the first time. It was surprisingly really good, it was comparable to lobster.”

Following the meal, the Fish Addictions team and Her Wilderness members all came together to get to know each other, talk about their favorite outdoor passions. The night ended with a few games of Catch Phrase, and tons of laughs to go along with it.

“Last weekend in a nutshell was a blast overall,” said Member Jenassa Faith “I’m truly blessed and thankful for Fish Addictions for being so welcoming and educational. From cleaning fish to playing catch phrase with the group, it was overall a great experience”
