May 15-17: Northwoods Ironwoman I: 3-D Archery and Multi-Species Fishing Trip:
Day one of this weekend trip will find us fishing for walleyes and panfish near Eagle River, Wisconsin. Hey, I'm "challenged" at jigging and even I can catch walleyes this time of year! Hands-on instruction is provided and gear/boats/fishing partners will be arranged if needed. A cookout and campfire completes this great spring day.
Sunday will find us near St. Germain, shooting bows at 3-D targets. This is really a fun sport! We'll have a diverse mix of targets (turkeys, deer, sheep, bear, etc.) set up throughout the forest. So, in addition to "shooting and releasing" the moose-of-your-lifetime, you will enjoy a wonderful hike in this lovely setting. Professional archer Joe Schneider and crew will thoroughly discuss gear, demonstrate techniques, and share tips to help the complete novices as well as advanced shooters.
Lodging, meals, instruction, pre-trip gear list, prizes and fun all included in price. Equipment rentals arranged for added cost.

Sunday will find us up in Land O Lakes, learning to trap shoot. This event, hosted at the historic Gateway Lodge Gun Club is led by shooting professional John Muir.

Gun safety and firearm overview, on-the-range instruction, trap shooting and gun cleaning will be taught. Firearm rentals available.

Sept 23-26: WOW! Women on the Water! Musky Huntress Trip: Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced musky fisherwoman, this all-women's trip will be one of the highlights of your year. Newbies will learn all the basics (tying a Palomar knot, throwing a baitcaster, running a trolling motor, operating a boat) and adept anglers will learn advanced techniques. Headquartered in Eagle River, Wisconsin, a fun group of women returns each year--and we always welcome new faces (but be prepared to fish and laugh hard!!) Trip includes 4 nights lodging (double occupancy), all breakfasts and dinners, all instruction/daily seminars and hands-on demos, detailed gear list, maps, prizes, and more. $499.00
Oct. 7-10: Couples Chasing Muskies: Make your better half be “the net man” at this unique trip. Held on Lake Vermilion in Minnesota we'll be fishing BIG water for BIG fish. The past few years we've hosted some awesome couples...come join the fun! Trip includes 4 nights lodging, all breakfasts and dinners, daily seminars and hands-on demos (learning to use your sonar and GPS is paramount on these waters!), detailed gear list, maps, prizes and more. Pool and spa, nightly entertainment and fun and games (I'm sure we'll re-visit "the Newlywed Game" again!) will make this a memorable experience for both husband and wife.

Instructor's Bios...
 Karen Di Pietro is a lifelong fisherman. "It was my absolute disgust for worms and leeches that started my fascination with fishing tackle!" (I'm with you, there!) Karen now owns Producer Tackle, which manufactures Rattlin' Shads and Ducetails. She's also fished the PMTT (Professional Musky Tournament Trail) for the past five seasons. She's an enthusiastic, knowledgeable musky fisherman and I look forward to working with her. Contact: producertackle@sbcglobal.net
MY MISSION:
**It is truly a mission of mine to get more women out on the water...If you have a gal in your life that shows any interest in the sport (your wife, daughter, mother, daughter-in-law, friend...) please contact me. I love to share my knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for the sport with other women.
*Guided trips in my Crestliner Fishhawk: I'm thrilled to help gals learn how to fish.
I am very patient when it comes to teaching things such as throwing a baitcasting reel or netting a large fish. Remember, when you hire a guide you are to expect an educational and entertaining day. I have gear especially suited for a woman's smaller frame, hand size, and strength constraints. I promise you a comfortable, relaxing day on the water with no worries!
*Guided trips in my rowboat: If you enjoy canoeing or kayaking, you will probably love to learn to "row troll (fish while rowing)." I have a comfortable rowboat! We'll get a little exercise, enjoy the beautiful scenery and hopefully catch a fat walleye or musky!
*Seminars:
I present seminars to groups, organizations and at tradeshows that discuss the "how's" of getting more women on the water. These are in-depth presentations that discuss proper "female-friendly" gear and techniques. If your group is interested, please contact me.
