North Star AnglersMy gear, by season.
Everything I actually fish with, sorted by open water and ice. None of it is required to use the decision trees. Every tree works with whatever rod you already own. This is just what's in my hands in the videos.

Two rigs
Some videos come from the boat and some from the bank. The decision trees work the same either way.
