Let’s Go Fishing Cancels 2020 Season

Let's Go Fishing

The Hodag Chapter of Let’s Go Fishing in Rhinelander has canceled the 2020 season due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19.

Let’s Go Fishing provides boat rides and fishing opportunities for youth, veterans, seniors and those with disabilities.

“The very groups Let’s Go Fishing is designed for are the ones who are most vulnerable to COVID-19. While we have a large pontoon boat, social distancing is challenging while fishing. We are so grateful for our sponsors and financial donors who continue to support Let’s Go Fishing, especially during this difficult season,” said president Mark Schroeder.

The Hodag Chapter is looking forward to full operation in 2021.
