I don’t know about you, but I am dreaming of consistent warmer weather! There’s no better way to start preparing for Spring then by attending the Annual Northwest Sportshow at the Minneapolis Convention Center March 13- 16.

The 2025 Sportshow is the Upper Midwest’s premier outdoors event, offering unbeatable access to the best in boating, fishing, RVs, motorized vehicles, apparel and other gear from hundreds of exhibitors to inspire endless adventures to come.

There’s a lot in store for both experienced anglers and those new to fishing and boating. I’m a Minnesotan who grew with a lake across the road, and while I fished from shore with my parents and occasionally we rented a little row boat at a nearby lake, I have a lot to learn. Our family plans to get out on that same lake ourselves this year and I know the Northwest Sportshow is just the place to start!
