The importance of fishing in Minnesota goes back thousands of
years: first as a means of critical subsistence and then, in the
last 200 years, as a major economic influence. In the 1800s,
anglers seeking pristine lakes with ample fish traveled to
Minnesota on the railroads. The widespread use of automobiles and
an improving road system rapidly increased the state's
accessibility in the 1900s, and resorts sprouted everywhere. During
the early tourist boom, the state was also home to countless boat
builders, tackle manufacturers, and other fishing-related
businesses. Images of America: Minnesota's Angling Past provides a
view of the time when boats were made from wood and propelled by
rowing; when great fishing spots were found through experience
rather than electronics; and, for some, a suit or dress was proper
attire for a day of fishing. This book includes rare images from
across the state that capture memorable days of angling, such as
the 1955 Leech Lake Muskie Rampage.
