One Northwoods group helps the elderly and disabled enjoy the outdoors

RHINELANDER - One group in the Northwoods wants to bring the fun of fishing to everyone. The Northwoods Chapter of Let's Go Fishing just kicked off their third season. There are several chapters throughout the country, but this is the only chapter in Wisconsin. They are a group dedicated to bringing the fun of fishing to people who may not be able to go on their own.

"We service, or provide outings and fishing excursions to seniors 55 and older, to assisted living/people in nursing homes, any shut-ins, disabled, and especially veterans and so-forth are more than welcome," said Mark Schroeder, President of Let's Go Fishing's Northwoods chapter.

The group operates on Boom Lake in Rhinelander. They are always looking for volunteers to help run the boat.
