828 | Fishing For All with Evan Griggs – Fly Fishing Minnesota, Saint Croix and Mississippi River, Warm-water Species

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/828 Presented By: Smitty's Fly Box, Four Wheel Campers, Mountain Waters Resort, Patagonia Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Evan Griggs, founder of Fishing For All, walks us through Minnesota's surprising, varied fisheries — from tight spring-fed trout creeks to the big, free-flowing Saint Croix and the Mississippi in the Twin Cities. He explains why smallmouth migrate up to 80–100 miles each season, how guide days look (drift boats, 8-wts, mice and popper windows), and why locals are seeing epic multi-species opportunities — muskie, pike, carp, native sunfish, and big smallmouth. Evan mixes practical trip planning, conservation wins (catch-and-release protections), and stories about teaching new anglers and building a guiding business that shows people how close great fishing can be.
