(Plymouth, Minn.) - Outdoor News, Inc., publisher of locally written fishing and hunting outdoor newspapers in seven Great Lake states, profiles one of the fastest growing facets of open-water fishing in its latest editions: fishing kayaks.

The feature was written by award winning Outdoor News contributor and avid kayak angler, Tim Lesmeister. His expertise in the area of accessories and functionality gives Outdoor News readers an overview in issues from Jan. 23 to March 6, 2015.

"One of the appealing aspects of using a kayak for fishing is the portability," Lesmeister said. The Outdoor News feature includes length and weight of models from a sampling of manufacturers including Hobie, Jackson, and Old Town. Lesmeister's piece also showcases models designed for standup fishing or for anglers looking to enter the sport inexpensively.

Outdoor News, Inc. publishes newspapers in Minnesota 52 times a year and in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York 26 times a year. Several of these states, including Minnesota and New York, have established kayak fishing organizations for individuals interested in learning more about the sport.

The Outdoor News kayak fishing coverage coincides with the boat-buying season and early season open water features.
