Lunch with the Friends

Anglers shouldn’t miss this lunchtime chat with renowned wilderness canoe and fishing guide Stu Osthoff, publisher of The Boundary Waters Journal. Stu has spent over 45 years exploring and fishing the pristine waters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and Quetico Provincial Park.

Whether you’re a seasoned Boundary Waters angler or dreaming of your first BWCAW adventure, this is a rare opportunity to learn from one of the true experts. Come prepared with your questions and be inspired by Stu’s contagious enthusiasm for wilderness fishing and exploring canoe country.

In this engaging conversation, Stu will share his vast knowledge and insider tips for catching the “Grand Slam” of canoe country fishing – lake trout, walleye, smallmouth bass, and northern pike. He’ll reveal the best times, lures, tactics and hotspot lakes for targeting these legendary species.

Stu is a passionate advocate for wilderness values like solitude, adventure and connecting with nature through fishing. He’ll discuss how to transcend an ordinary canoe trip by embracing the challenge and breathtaking beauty of backcountry angling in this unspoiled wilderness.

Don’t miss this chance to have “Lunch with Friends” and gain valuable insights from a lifelong guide and protector of the Boundary Waters experience.
