The Root River in Lanesboro is featured as a premium fishing destination in Minnesota

Fly Fishing America features local supply and guide shop, Root River Rod Co of Lanesboro Minnesota in documentary style video about trout fishing in Minnesota.

Fly Fishing America and Bluff Line Media just released a Minnesota focused film. They chose to feature the story of Lanesboro’s Root River Rod Co and the current owners Lance & Alayna. Watching it you’ll enjoy not only their story, but the celebration of Steve Sobieniak’s story. It was Alayna’s father Steve, through his love of woodworking and trout fishing, who rescued the old building, created the storefront, built the custom rods and created the first guided trout fishing company in the Minnesota driftless.

Bluff Line Media describes Lanesboro Minnesota’s fishing experience in the “gin-clear creeks of the bucolic Driftless region.” The clarity of our water is related to the spring fed nature of the water. They report that, “Due to [Minnesota’s] diverse ecosystems and abundance of water, any angler will find ample opportunities for amazing fishing.”

Root River Rod Co is set up to be your Lanesboro MN fishing guide team. They explain, “At RRRCo we offer expert guiding services in both fly fishing or spin fishing. We can tailor your full or half day adventure to whatever you like offering both wade trips and drift boat trips for individuals and large groups. 

Whether you're a novice or expert, we have all the  gear and guidance to turn you into a driftless angler.

Seventy miles of boating water and hundreds of wadable miles of streams and rivers in the driftless region of Southeast Minnesota.”

Root River Inn is angler friendly. We offer a equipment storage room, where you are welcome to put your dirty gear when not in use, even with hooks to hang up those waders. Featuring modern rooms with ample outdoor space, Root River Inn is the preferred accommodation of active outdoor lovers. Rooms vary from just a queen bed all the way up to roomy suites with kitchenettes and living rooms. The inn is just across the street from the river and a block away from Root River Rod Co, making the inn the perfect place to launch from and return to. We sell ice to keep your fish on so you’re able to keep fresh anything you catch.

Coming fishing with young fisherkids in your life? Just on the South side of the inn is Sylvan Park which has 2 stocked trout ponds, 1 has a fishing dock. Teach casting and enjoy time together with a hook in the water.

You’re making a great decision coming to Lanesboro to enjoy fishing and everything Lanesboro has to offer.
