Class Projects

Spartan Angling was created in 2019, with the help of a DNR Grant. We teach the art and science of Minnesota Angling and make slimy memories for kids. Recently, a Business Education class was created in the fall 2022 and as a collaborate effort, we have launched Spartan Angling Fish Batter! Students from both classes contributed and came up with a secret recipe, logo, packaging details, marketing plan, taste testing, and other real life skills! All proceeds from sales will be split between Spartan Angling and Business Education class.

Please look around this website to see more information about Spartan Angling!

Tips to managing your shoreline!

Above are some examples of student work with invasive species…..

Using knowledge of fish behavior and migratory patterns, students created lake hot spot maps showing potential locations for fish species. Students analyzed gill/trap net data and studied fish habitat for each species. Other features include landings, contours, or vegetation.

Students investigate gill net data from various lakes and draw conclusions on size structure, health of a lake, and fish species present to target for angling. Students also learned about survey methods such as gill and trap nets.

Students conducted research on the eleven biggest lakes in Northern Minnesota and prepared a slide show about the lake–highlighting fish species, maps, accesses, resorts, and many more features. Below are a few samples of the projects…..

Students identified a species of their choice and created a poster on the biology, lures, prey, and seasonal migrations.
