So glad I found your channel and totally agree with your conservation/stewardship stance. With the new tools available, there is really no need to stock up. I'm excited being from S. Texas to find some new spots to fish, Leech Lake is on my list. Without your video, I never would have known the great amenities that are being offered up that way! In the summer I stick around the DL area so this will be fantastic. I'd like to see some more of your tips and tricks that you guys offer. I do have one question, a couple years ago I got sorta irritated about the price of minnows, when I found that you can't use a cast net. I asked the local DNR the reasoning but the person didn't give me a good answer and thought you guy's might know. Thanks and again and hope to meet ya in the near future.
We are not sure on the cast net. There are traps available and minnow seine nets but not cast nets. The expensive minnows like chubs can be caught using small hooks and wax worms on several creeks around the region. Best of luck and thanks for the compliments.
