Honoring a fishing and conservation legacy

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources dedicated the Tioga Public Water Access in Cohasset in memory of Tom Neustrom, a nationally recognized fishing guide, Hall of Fame angler and longtime conservation advocate who died in July 2026. Pictured at the dedication are DNR Assistant Commissioner Bob Meier, Neustrom’s wife, Renee Neustrom, and DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen. Neustrom, who made his home in the Grand Rapids area, devoted much of his life to sharing his passion for fishing and helping others experience Minnesota’s outdoors. His contributions extended beyond guiding, including serving on the DNR fishing roundtable and the State Walleye Advisory Committee and Mille Lacs Advisory Committee. He also introduced countless people to fishing through seminars, radio programs and podcasts while advocating for the conservation of Minnesota’s fisheries.
