Your daily Minnesota news roundup starts … NOW. Former Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned in May amid an investigation into workplace sexual misconduct (not to be confused with the workplace sexual misconduct in the St. Paul mayor’s office) and Mayor Jacob Frey installed 31-year veteran Bill Peterson on an interim basis.

Set The Hook Guide Service Launches New Ice Fishing Excursions

MINNETONKA, MN - November 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Set The Hook Guide Service, led by local angler Matthew Thompson, has announced the availability of guided winter excursions for the upcoming ice fishing season. Operating as an ice fishing guide in Minneapolis, MN, the company offers structured, single-day outings designed to introduce beginners to winter angling while accommodating experienced participants seeking local lake knowledge. Winter fishing on frozen lakes involves specialized drilling tools, variable ice surfaces, and shifting underwater fish locations that often present practical challenges for newcomers or travelers unfamiliar with regional waterways. Rather than focusing solely on harvest outcomes, the program emphasizes hands-on instruction, equipment familiarity, and adherence to established cold-weather procedures on metropolitan lakes. Through these scheduled trips, Set The Hook Guide Service provides residents and regional visitors with organized access to winter angling opportunities without requiring participants to own specialized winter gear.
