Fishing the Midwest, one of the longest running regional fishing television shows in North America, will return to the airwaves in early 2025. In a recent interview, Mike Frisch, host of the award-winning series, said that the upcoming version of Fishing the Midwest will continue its history of providing outstanding fishing information and entertainment. Fishing the Midwest is entering its 36th year of revealing close-to-home fishing opportunities and techniques. Fishing the Midwest can be seen in over twenty million homes weekly during the winter months.
Frisch continued “Fishing the Midwest in 2025 will include more big fish of several species than ever before. We’ll reveal top fishing locations we visited and the techniques and equipment that we used to be successful and that will enable our viewers to increase their chances for more fishing success on their home waters.”
The Fishing the Midwest umbrella includes Fishing the Midwest television, the popular Tie One On podcast, Reel-Times digital newsletter, and feature syndicated fishing articles and blogs. Frisch is the founder of School of Fish, the Midwest’s leader in youth fishing education. On the regional level, Fishing the Midwest reaches more anglers of all skill levels.
