Bret Amundson is ice fishing along the Gunflint Trail with avid angler Dawn Walrath, and public health officials explain why it is important to test private wells.
Dawn Walrath of Eagan grew up as an outdoor enthusiast and was the first woman hired in the hunting and fishing department at Joe’s Sporting Goods in St. Paul, which has been in business for 90 years.
