Lake Minnetonka is one of Minnesota’s most unique fisheries, made up of connected bays and lake sections that fish differently throughout the year. Capt.

His teaching style makes trips ideal for beginners, families, and anglers wanting to improve their skills on the water.

Fishing trips include all rods, reels, tackle, bait, bottled water, and juice. Guests only need to purchase a valid Minnesota fishing license and bring weather-appropriate clothing. Children are welcome, and kid-friendly trips are available for families looking to introduce younger anglers to fishing in a relaxed environment. Children 10 years old and under must bring their own life jacket.

Capt. Dusty enjoys meeting guests from all over the country and helping people create lasting memories on the water. He especially enjoys teaching kids and new anglers how to fish while making the experience enjoyable and easy to follow.
