Let’s Go Fishing nonprofit brings mission of hope and healing to central Wisconsin

A nonprofit dedicated to getting seniors, veterans and people with disabilities out on the water is expanding to central Wisconsin, with a new chapter of Let’s Go Fishing set to launch in Wausau.

The group, which began in 2002 in Minnesota, uses specially equipped pontoon boats to bring people who may not otherwise have access to outdoor recreation onto area lakes and rivers. Sometimes, passengers fish; other times, they simply enjoy the experience of being on the water.
