In this episode of Gear’d Up North, host Jared Petrie heads out on the Rainy River for a day of fishing and storytelling with Chanda Gebhardt — a powerhouse in Minnesota’s outdoor community.

Owner of Fairview Gardens in Sauk Rapids, MN, philanthropist, outdoor mentor, and proud board member of Women Anglers of Minnesota (WAM), Chanda’s passion for the outdoors runs deep. Between landing walleyes and swapping stories aboard Sarah Greene’s Ranger boat, Chanda opens up about the people who’ve inspired her, the programs she’s poured her heart into, and how she’s influencing the next generation of women anglers across the Midwest.

We talk about her work with Mandatory Fun Outdoors, guiding lady veterans on annual fishing and pheasant hunting trips, her features in Adventuress Magazine, and why service and community connection matter just as much as the catch.

Hit play for an episode packed with inspiration, Northwoods adventure, and the kind of good company you wish you had on every fishing trip.
