Posted by Angie Scott · January 05, 2021

Wrapping up the special Breaking the Ice Series with conversations with not one, but two amazing woman ice anlgers...Jessi Havemeier and Katie Halverson. Both are active members of Women Anglers of Minnesota (WAM) and have a passion for passing their knowledge onto others.

In the words of Kristen Merwin, Former President of WAM:

"Jessi is a single mom who is very unique. She is a strong independent woman who has a passion for fishing and classic trucks. Many times you will find posts on what she is working on her classic truck doing most of the work on her own! As an ice angler she is an independent angler who goes out on her own to find her own fish, drill her own holes and of course clean her catch!
