TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION

Kick off summer with an unforgettable morning on the water! Join Little Wilderness and our experienced boat captains for a fun day of fishing and adventure on the beautiful Pokegama Lake — Pine County’s largest lake, just west of Pine City. This lake is part of the Snake River system and is home to awesome fish like walleye, northern pike, bass, crappie, catfish, and even the mighty muskie. Pokegama covers over 1,500 acres and has plenty of secret fishing spots — from weedy flats to hidden sunken islands where big fish love to hide!

We’ll start the day at the docks of restaurant, Lake Appeil, where you’ll meet our friendly crew and boat captains. After a quick safety check (parents and guardians will sign a waiver before leaving their child with us), we’ll load up the boats and head to where the fish are biting. You’ll learn tips from real anglers, test your fishing skills, and maybe even reel in a trophy-sized catch!

After a few hours on the water, we’ll head back to shore to share stories, show off the big ones, and celebrate with fun prizes and a tasty meal. Every registered youth gets lunch and some cool fishing memories to take home.

Please dress appropriately for the weather, keeping in mind that it is always colder on the water. Youth are required to bring their own Personal Floatation Device and will be wearing it at all times on the boat so please make sure it fits properly. If you do not have one, let us know ahead of time and we will try to accommodate you. If your youth is 16-17 years old, please follow MN DNR regulations for license requirements. If you would like to keep any of your catch, please have your own cooler available upon our return (we will not be cleaning fish at this event).
