If you have any plans on fishing Lake of the Woods anytime, you should be sure to attend Steve Heiting's seminar at the Flatlanders Chapter of Muskies, Inc meeting on Thursday March 22nd. The meeting starts at 7:30 PM and will be held at the Loves Park VFW on Windsor Rd and Alpine Rd in Loves Park, IL. Admission is FREE, hoping that you will bring a couple of bucks to spend on some raffle tickets as a fund raiser. Steve will be speaking on LOTW and it has been promised to be a talk that has not been heard at any major shows. As you know Steve is an outstanding fisherman and one of the hosts of the University of ESOX musky school held each year on LOTW and will be bringing the knowledge he has obtained over many years of fishing Lake of the Woods. Don't miss this one! For more information, or if you'd like to sponsor/donate to this event, feel free to contact me. Thank you and I hope to see you there.

From our latest newsletter:
Steve Heiting to share big fish secrets
Almost every serious musky angler knows who Steve Heiting is. Steve is the managing editor of Musky Hunter magazine and a frequent guest on the Musky Hunter television show. You’ve probably heard Steve speak at the Chicago and Milwaukee musky shows a few times over the years and you might even have one or two of the four DVDs that he’s produced or both of the musky fishing books he’s written. Well, we’re in for a treat because Steve will be our guest speaker at the March 22 meeting. That’s pretty good news by itself, but even better is that Steve said that he will share information that he’s only shared a time or two in previous seminars. The title for his March 22 appearance here is “Attack Lake of the Woods.” Many of us look forward to our annual adventure on the Canadian waters and we’re always looking for tips on how to catch more and bigger fish. Who better than Steve Heiting to help us with that?
To make Steve’s seminar even better, and that’s a pretty tall order, the event is FREE. As has been pointed out in previous newsletters, the executive committee, under the leadership of President Jeff Blanck, wants more members to show up to meetings and get involved in club activities. We thought that FREE events would maybe get you away from the television on Thursday nights and out to the VFW. We’re hoping to get sponsors to underwrite the cost of bringing Steve and other speakers to town and we hope that you spend money you would have spent getting in on the 50/50 and the other raffles that will be going on. There’ll be some pretty good stuff on the raffle tables and we’ll have a silent auction for a getaway on Indian Lake Lodge.
There may be a couple of other surprises, but you have to show up to find out what they’ll be. More on Steve. His home water is northern Wisconsin, but he’s a well-traveled angler and has caught big muskies from the northern-most musky lake in Ontario to as far south as Kentucky. Steve is co-owner of the University of Esox Musky Schools. Steve is on the pro teams of Ranger, Mercury, St. Croix, Mepps, Frabill, Shoeder’s Marina, Minn Kota, Humminbird and Stealth Tackle. This will be one of the best – if not the best – seminars the Flatlanders have hosted in years. Let’s pack the VFW March 22.
