TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION
The Mississippi is mighty and so is its Smallmouth! Grab your waders and join Coordinator Toni Parnell along the shores of the Mississippi River, waist deep in Smallmouth territory. As winter nears to an end, water temps rise and smallmouth bass scavenge the bottom of the Mississippi River for food. This 1 day meet up is open to all skill levels. Whether you have fished this tricky season or not, your coordinator will help you along the way. Toni can also teach you which areas to target in the river and why, while also helping you rig your line with a setup for success!
This trip may not be for the faint of heart, as the temps could drop or the wind could blow. Your coordinator will provide you with a detailed list of winter gear to wear. Insulated waders are required for this 1 day event, and you must provide your own. If you are looking for recommendations before buying your own, please email your coordinator at tonihwmn@gmail.com or ask the many women in our private facebook community page, Her Wilderness Community | Outdoor Women.
The price of this trip includes all live bait, rigged poles and extra tackle. Fishing in a river can mean getting your line hung up multiple times. No need to worry as your coordinator will help you re-tie your line to get back in the action! Lunch is not included in the price of this event, so please bring your own.
