One of our first Metro Camps of the season, Reel Connections, is in the books! 🎣 This weekend we had seven campers with us in Eden Prairie learning about fishing, conservation, and God’s deep love for us.

And we weren’t just fishing on Minnetonka… we were catching! 🐟 Our Camp Champ for the weekend reeled in an impressive 65” total across 5 different species! What a fun weekend of learning, laughter, and making Reel Connections.

🎣 What an incredible day of impact!

Last Thursday at the Emma B. Howe YMCA in C**n Rapids, 100 volunteers from Cummins Diesel, Ispiri, and Fishing For Life came together to refurbish hundreds of rods, reels, and tackle boxes for our Reel ‘Em In Program—capping off our month-long donation drive with YMCAs of the North.

Because of the hard work and generosity of everyone involved, more youth, veterans, and community members will have access to the joy and healing that fishing can bring.

Thank you to every volunteer who rolled up their sleeves and made a difference—we couldn’t do it without you! 💙🎣

What a weekend for Fishing For Life’s mobile trout pond! 🎣

We kicked things off at a senior living facility, helping residents get hooked up with some BIG trout and plenty of smiles. Then it was off to Omaha, Nebraska for Fishfest 2026!

A huge thank you to our trout pond coordinator Mike for all the hard work, preparation, and miles behind the wheel to make these events happen. We’re also incredibly grateful for all of our volunteers who gave their time this weekend — especially Brian L. for making the long drive to Nebraska.

Because of you all, more people were able to experience the joy of fishing and the outdoors this weekend. Thank you for helping us make memories that matter! 💙🐟

May the 4th be with you! 🎣✨

This Star Wars Day, join Fishing For Life as we celebrate the galaxy… one cast at a time. Whether you're a Jedi Master with a rod or just learning the ways of the water, there’s something powerful about time spent fishing, connecting, and creating lasting memories.

Just like the Force, fishing has a way of bringing peace, patience, and purpose into our lives. Today, we’re grateful for every young angler, volunteer, and supporter who helps us make a difference—on and off the water.

So grab your gear, bring a friend (or your favorite droid 😉), and enjoy the adventure.

Drop a 🎣 in the comments if you're celebrating with us!
