As Let’s Go Fishing continues to provide outings in the Brainerd Lakes Area, we want to thank our devoted volunteers, sponsors, in-kind donors and guests for our successful season last summer. We are looking forward to another fun, heart-warming season.

As in the past, there will be opportunities to schedule trips on Gull Lake, Rice Lake and Bay Lake. New for the 2024 season will be nature excursions from our Rice Lake location, starting in July. These trips will feature a MN Master Naturalist onboard as we cruise the beautiful Mississippi River. Bring your binoculars and cameras for this nature-filled experience. These excursions will not include fishing time and will be labeled as such.

Our primary client base includes senior residents of care facilities, those living at home with support services, individuals living independently, Veterans and our Youth. There is no cost, free will donations are accepted.

Our strong, committed team of trained volunteer captains and first mates offers our guests the best experience possible, whether fishing or simply cruising. We have received many positive comments and notes of appreciation over the years. Check out the photos of our many smiling faces from trips held during the past few years!
