Nonprofit Let’s Go Fishing starts new chapter in Wausau
WAUSAU, Wis. (WJFW) — While the Northwoods has many big lakes and rivers, but not everyone has the means to set sail and get out on the water.
Let’s Go Fishing is a nonprofit organization that looks to change that. Let’s Go Fishing has a chapter in Rhinelander, but they have always had long term plans for expansion. Some people who are interested in starting a new group in Wausau met Monday to discuss plans for beginning the new chapter next year.
It was at the Marathon County Library in Wausau where they met to start discussion on the creation of a Wausau chapter of Let’s Go Fishing. Let’s Go Fishing started in 2002 in Minnesota as a way to get people who may not have means to get outside out the boat.
“I got very excited because of the opportunity to bring it to the Wausau area and the resources that we have here with Lake Wausau and the surrounding communities and the population,” said Bernie Lakus, the first president of the Wausau chapter.
