2026 FISHING SEMINAR SPEAKERS

Nick Lindner
Nick Lindner is a prominent angler and digital content creator with deep roots in the Minnesota fishing scene. He grew up in the famous Lindner family, developing a love for multi-species angling at an early age thanks to the incredible influence of his relatives, including Ron, Al, and James Lindner. After spending five years working with the legendary Lindner Media Productions crew, Nick launched his own platform with a clear goal: to combine his passion for fishing with his commitment to teaching anglers how to catch more and bigger fish.
________________________________________
Nick calls central Minnesota home, but his work takes him all throughout the Upper Midwest. He is a tireless traveler, capturing his angling experiences on video while chasing a wide variety of species, including walleye, bass, panfish, muskies, and everything in-between, regardless of the season. Through his engaging content, Nick continues the family legacy by providing fellow fishing enthusiasts with both high-quality action and practical, educational insights.
JOE HENRY
As a fishing guide, licensed charter captain, and tournament angler, Joe Henry has made fishing a part of his everyday life. He has experienced many successes throughout the years with some tough days sprinkled in as well. It is learning from both, Joe believes, that helps make an angler more effective and versatile.
Joe is an award-winning outdoor communicator, sharing fishing techniques, strategies and philosophies with thousands through seminars, tv shows, videos and articles across the U.S.
Professionally, Joe has enjoyed many leadership positions and serves on a variety of boards. His professional background combined with his many fishing credentials led him to his current role, Executive Director of Lake of the Woods Tourism.
Joe works closely with 60 lodging facilities, area guides, and a variety of stakeholders. He orchestrates the strategy and execution of the marketing, promotions, events, ad buys and social media for Lake of the Woods Tourism.
