New to the area,Twin Cities fishing stores?

Ok so I’m new to the area (kind of fun and exciting to start from scratch) and I haven’t a clue as to the fishing store locations I found a Gander Mountain in Maple Grove which isn’t too far away, but was curious as to if there are any closer/better Sporting goods Stores in the area. Geez next thing you know I’ll be asking for hardwater places to fish on (hey, i’ll take any hints on that as well)
Thanks!

Welcome;
Depending on what kind of fishing your into,one of my favorite musky & ice fishing stores check out;
http://www.thornebros.com/
good luck.

There is a Cabela’s in Roger’s which is 15-20 min past Gander Mt. on 94 Westbound.

Sportsman Warehouse and also a site sponsor

If ya stop in the Woddbury store be sure to hey. There also is a store in Coon Rapids.

There is the Gander on Highway 5 in Eden Prairie. Cabelas in Rogers, just down the road from Maple Grove store you were at. Sportsman Wharehouses all over. Don’t bother wasting your time at [censored], it’s not longer a real sporting good store. However if you are into golf or skiing, it’s decent place, but high priced. Thorne Bros if you are into musky fishing, up in Fridley.

Welcome!!

in terms of lake, go to medicine lake, its got lots of pannies and toothies.

is there a fleet farm on that side of town? they have a decent selection of the basics.. and more often than not, they are cheaper than gander/cabelas. i always try to check out prices at a fleet farm before i go to gander.

Fleet Farm is in Brooklyn Park/Osseo area at the intersection of HWY 169 and 85th Ave North.

Good call, missed that. Yup, Brooklyn Park, about 10 mins from the Gander you were at.

Thanks everyone, definitely gonna check some of these places out. I didn’t realize there was a cabelas so close (my g/f says i’m like a kid in a toy store when i go there) also didn’t realize thorne brothers was right in town! I might have to swing on down by the woodbury sportsmans warehouse never been to one and really curious to see what they have to offer. Anyways thanks again guys.

Can’t wait to get back on that hardwater, and boy does it come quicker here than it did in iowa.
