Who We Are
MN Youth Fishing Org is a 501c3 non-profit and charitable organization founded in 2020 in order to publicly support, increase awareness, and assist in the growth of organized youth fishing in the State of MN. Our goal is to provide more opportunities for youth angling in MN. We strive to make competitive youth angling more equitable, and available to a wider student population.
What We Do & How We Do It
During the fishing season the organization will hold youth fishing events to introduce more anglers to the sport of competitive fishing. We look to increase knowledge and introduce conservation best practices to all youth.
