Northern Minnesota guide Brian "Bro" Brosdahl joins the studio for a wide-ranging fishing talk that goes way beyond "where to go." We dig into what's really driving bites up north—perch cycles, bug hatches (midges/bloodworms and mayflies), rusty crayfish impact, and why walleye fishing can feel "slow" when forage is booming. Bro also shares a real perspective on technology vs. technique (forward-facing sonar, side imaging, casting precision, and managing a boat full of clients), plus his favorite ways to find and protect big bluegills and jumbo perch without burning up small-lake fisheries. If you fish Lake Winnie, Leech, Cass, Bemidji, or any Northwoods water, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply right away.
