The Midwest Angler Podcast is a weekly podcast focused on fishing in the Upper Midwest.

2019 was a great year for fishing stories!  With 2020 on the horizon, here is a look at some of our favorites.  

  Kristine Fischer grew up in small town Nebraska.  I met her at the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers (AGLOW) conference in La Crosse, WI. We sat down to chat about her childhood, career path, mentors, goals, and legacy.  It's a short conversation, but we touched on some great topics. I believe we can all take something away from Kristine's journey and the things she has learned along the way. Check out her instagram stories for a taste of her writing @midwestfishergal.
