Here’s a link to this springs trip.

I’ve never fished up in MN so after a sturgeon I’d just like to catch whatever the locals fish for. I can pay for boat gas, supplies and everything else.
Or if someone knows a local guide preferably not one with multiple boats where you don’t know who will guide you until last minute.
It wasn’t clear to me….are you towing a boat on this trip?
No boat
If it was me I would be hitting Missoula, MT. Big Sky Brewing Co. Home of my favorite beer…Moose Drool!
Will look. What else is there to do in this town? Better be really good beer for a few hour detour LOL.
I do not fly fish BTW.. I’ll start checking out other mentions.
Best place to eat near Browning? We will be there a couple days. A
The map is a rough draft still. We plan to narrow it down and go through some mountains.
Just trying to get an idea for length of trip (miles and days) and must stay in towns. Then I’ll work on better maps. Will probably be 3 maps (since I don’t need maps for anything within 500 miles from the start point)
BTW – we are going east first and ending up at Bear Lake July 23rd or so.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. When I have more time I’ll create a route map for just the north (ND, MN, MI)
I’m looking forward to trying the food up there also. Sounds good!
Itasca Park was on the route but if we stay on the far north in MN I’ll go through Rainy River area instead.
It’s just the wife and myself. I’m just not sure yet on a 95 hour drive. Never been more than a 20 hour drive (or 40 round trip so I guess just double that LOL).
Not much is on the list. I just looked at Gooseberry and we will be driving right by that so can stop. I’ll have to look up everything you guys mention as I’ve never been or researched anything up there. This is why I’m getting started so early.
How long should a trip like this take? +/- 30 days?
BTW – While I’m on this trip if anyone knows of good places to stay like BnBs please let me know.
And I have a river house in south Texas and a house in central Texas if anyone wants to do a home exchange in July. It’s Texas so will be brutal hot though.
Sorry I wasn’t clear in the first post. I had no idea if anyone even used this website or if the idea was stupid in the first place.
The offer was vague because it can be whatever works out for both parties. You can see our reviews on AirBnB or google 587 Ranch to see the hunts we’ve run over the last 3-4 years. I haven’t screwed anyone that I know of.
And of course I’d want to talk on the phone to vet the person in MN…I never know either if they are the crazy one. But I’ve found in the past that usually fishermen who enjoy helping others are really good people.
Heck if nothing else I figure someone may need a fishing partner for a couple days to pay for gas and stuff.

I think he is just saying that I someone takes him fishing in MN he will returns the trip by his house in Texas.

Pretty much. We can work out whatever deal fits depending on how long someone wants to guide me in MN, if they have a boat, place to stay etc.
I’m open to who ever coming down here first. Fishing is best late Feb-April at my place. Although I do not have a boat at the moment. I’m hoping to have one by Feb. though.
And I don’t have to guide here if the person doesn’t want me to. They can just use the house. But I’m always looking for a reason to run lines and fish.
I’m leaning towards Rainy River area since I catch crappie, catfish, perch, and bass down here. What I want to catch is sturgeon, muskie, pike and walleye. Rated in that order. A couple salmon out of the big lake would be ok.. I can be in MN for 5-8 days if need be.
Open to house swapping using a site like home exchange also. I have a house on a 587 acre ranch or the house on the Nueces River. 587Ranch.com This website only shows the cabin (not the house) but gives an idea about the ranch.
BTW – I’d hire a guide. It’s just most are on a daily routine fishing for mainly one specie and they treat everyone like a richie tourist 
At least other places I’ve been.
