Let's Go Fishing Logo

LGF is committed to its mission of providing free fishing and boating excursions for individuals aged 55 and greater. They have also served and intend to continue to serve anyone that has a physical challenge that prevents them from getting out on the water, regardless of their age.

As we grow older, participating in fishing and boating activities may often become difficult. Health and physical limitations, financial constraints, and access are some of the most common reasons that older adults are no longer able to enjoy fishing and boating activities.

LGF is a network of members, volunteers and chapters with a passion for the outdoors and who come together as one team, to serve seniors and advance the mission of LGF. Our unique program serves to improve the quality of life for seniors and build stronger communities. With chapters located throughout Minnesota LGF is able to reach thousands of individuals each year.
