My name is Carl Olson, and I have fished the waters of Minnesota since I was very young. From trips to the Boundary Waters, to the small quiet trout streams of Southeast Minnesota and so much in between. I have spent different periods of my life targeting specific quarries, but my keenest pursuit has always been becoming a skilled multi-species angler.

As fate would have it, I married a woman from Wabasha, Minnesota, and started to explore the Mississippi River Valley in earnest. During that time, I discovered how truly special the Mississippi River is as a fishery. It has the most dynamic and diverse multi-species fishing in the Midwest, and I have spent the last 20 years finding it difficult to go anywhere else.
