Fishcast Angling

I'm crazy about the adventure, sport, art, and science that is fishing.

There's nothing I'd rather do than make memories and share my life and my faith in God while spending time on the water with my wife, family, friends, and new friends I meet along the way.

As a child I grew up in Andover, MN chasing fish as much as possible around the Twin Cities metro area by foot or canoe or eventually a 14' boat from 1972 powered by only a trolling motor.

Once I graduated high school I decided to head to UW-Stevens Point to major in Fisheries Management. During my time in college and the years that followed I had the opportunity to work for the MN DNR as a fisheries intern across much of north central MN, along with taking as much time as I could muster to fish across Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, and Florida.

During college and the years that followed there were times I pretty much lived on the water much of the year for work and play. In fact one summer I literally spent more of my nights (when I was off of work) sleeping on my boat on the water than in a bed, no joke. I love fishing, I love sharing it with others, and I can't get enough of it.

I currently live, work, and fish in the "Bakken" region of Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana. Its a truly phenomenal multi species fishing frontier. Relatively few people in the fishing community at large have heard much of or grasp how incredible some of the opportunities are out here. I plan to change that...

"Fishcast" is a word my fishing buddy from a very young age, Joe Blake, and I used to say every time we made a cast we were "certain" we would get a bite on! It stuck and many of my friends and I still call "fishcast!" every time we think we are for sure going to get a bite!

As I become increasingly involved in the fishing industry this Facebook page will hopefully be a little glimpse into my fishing endeavors during this adventurous process. The more I learn about fishing, the more I realize how little I know- but I'm here to share what I can with you! I hope to share reports, unique tips and tricks, videos, pictures, stories, and some hilarious moments along the way! Hope you enjoy!

Your next fishing partner,

Joshua Johnson
