The first year I took a group of four guys from Southern Minnesota out on Bowstring we caught our limit in an hour and forty-five minutes. They couldn't believe it! This summer when they came back I told them we would hit Bowstring again. They were a little apprehensive because they didn't think they would ever be able to beat last year’s trip. Well we did, and had our limit of walleyes in forty five minutes! What a great day on the water.

or on our website at https://leisureoutdooradventures.com - Book with Justin ChromyHi, my name is Justin Chromy. I grew up in New Prague, MN. I was first introduced to the great sport of fishing when I was 6 years old on Fall Lake by Ely. I remember rolling out of bed at 5am, knowing something exciting was about to happen. My dad, brothers, and I caught our limit of walleyes in just over an hour and I was hooked! This was the start of a fiery passion that would drive my life. From that point on, I was no longer a normal kid. I would look forward to Fall Lake trips more than I looked forward to holidays. The opportunity to fish was not always there, but I took every chance that I could get on the water. Whether it was getting rides to Cedar Lake, annual trips to my uncle's cabin by Alexandria, MN or adventures to Rainy Lake in Voyageurs National Park, fishing was always my first choice. When I was in high school, my driver’s license meant one thing…unlimited ice fishing! While there certainly were limits, I was able to get out and grow as an ice fisherman. I purchased my first boat at 18 years old and that’s when the “reel” addiction truly began.
