Longtime Outdoor News columnist Steve Carney part of 2026 Minnesota Fishing Hall of Fame class

Steve Carney is doing exactly what he was meant to do with his life as a fishing guide and outdoors communicator for almost 50 years. There’s no doubt in his mind.
As a young kid, Carney, now 72, would get dropped off by his dad at Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis with a rod and a handful of jigs. He’d spend his entire days fishing around the lake from shore until his dad picked him up after getting done with work at 5 p.m.
