Reflecting on memories from the Northwest Sportshow with 2024 show this week in Minnesota

Featured, Fishing, Gear & Gadgets, Minnesota, National Fishing /

Three decades ago – three! – my dad, uncle, and I were at the Northwest Sportshow. This was a big deal to me because my family had just moved from Detroit Lakes, Minn., where we lived on a lake, to Bloomington, where we did not live on a lake.
The show was a highlight of the year for me. There was new fishing tackle to see and I had the opportunity to meet some of the people I watched on TV.

Michigan Tech University biologists have been observing a remote Lake Superior island’s fragile wolf population every winter since 1958, but they had to cut this season’s planned seven-week survey short after just two weeks.
The ski plane they study the wolves from uses the frozen lake as a landing strip because there’s nowhere to touch down on the island. But this weirdly warm winter left the Great Lakes nearly devoid of ice. Now, scientists are scrambling to understand how iceless winters could affect the world’s largest freshwater system.
