Brian “Bro” Brosdahl is one of the most recognizable faces in the winter fishing industry, a pied piper, of sorts, who draws a crowd wherever he goes.

A congenial sort with a gift for gab, Bro — as he’s known to most — and his wife, Heather, live in Max, Minnesota, in northern Itasca County. Besides working as a fishing guide for perch and walleye both summer and winter, Bro spends a fair bit of time on the road promoting products for a long list of sponsors, including Otter, Northland Fishing Tackle, Aqua-Vu, Humminbird and Minn Kota, to name just a few.

He will be at the Arrowhead Ice Fishing and Winter Show in Duluth on Friday and Saturday and at the Cabela’s store in Rogers, Minnesota, on Sunday.
