2026 LGF Board
All of us at LGF Brainerd extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to David Brown and his wife Libby for their dedication to our chapter for these past seasons. As President, David was proactive in the decision to acquire a second pontoon in order to expand our service to a grateful community. His guidance kept us on course and helped us achieve our many goals.
At this time David will take a step back from his board position but will remain an active LGF volunteer with Libby. “Thank you” does not begin to cover the gratitude we have for their dedication to our chapter.
Along with this update, we are proud to announce your 2026 LGF volunteer board positions:
Julie Kletscher – Interim President
George Olson – Interim Vice President
John Grandin – Treasurer
Karen Vogt – Secretary
Kathy Dufour – Event Coordinator

We welcome George and John to the LGF board and thank them for stepping up to serve you and our guests. As “Interim President and VP”, Julie and George will hold these offices for the 2026 season. These positions will be up for election for 2027 and beyond.
As volunteers, thank you all for your energy, your passion and commitment to our guests, our volunteers and the community!
Stay tuned for a 2026 LGF event calendar update to be posted soon.
Big News for 2026!!
Lead-free in 2026!!!
As we plan ahead for our 2026 season your Brainerd LGF Board has made the important decision to do away with lead tackle! We know our wildlife can be harmed greatly by the ingestion of lead from fishing tackle. This affects Bald Eagles, Ospreys, the Common Loon, Otters and any other birds and animals that ingest lead by eating fish that have succumbed to swallowing lead. Try as we might, we release most of what LGF catches on our trips. Rarely, we may have a fish break off with the lead tackle still attached. A floating fish is easy prey for Eagles, Ospreys and others.
How about you? Will you commit to going lead-free for wildlife in 2026?
