On the beautiful morning of May 29th, Learn 2 Fish With Us teamed up with the Outagamie Conservation Club to host an unforgettable fishing outing for clients of VPI Inc. The excitement in the air was as crisp as the morning breeze, and it didn’t take long before lines were tight and smiles were wide. VPI Inc. mission is “To promote the dignity and worth of individuals who have disabilities or are disadvantaged and to assist them in developing their optimum level of social, vocational and economic independence in the community” .
For many of the participants, it was their first time fishing — but you wouldn’t have known it by the action on the water. Shouts of “Got another one!” and “They’re getting bigger!” echoed from the shoreline, creating a chorus of enthusiasm and joy that could only mean one thing: success.
Thanks to the wonderful support of the Outagamie Conservation Club, anglers reeled in bluegills, perch, and even some bass. The highlight of the day? A bass just over 19 inches — though the angler’s grin may have been even bigger than the fish itself!
We’re incredibly proud to help foster these moments of joy and connection through fishing. Events like these are more than just a fun day outdoors — they’re about building confidence, learning new skills, and forming lasting memories.
The next scheduled fishing day for VPI Inc. Clients is June 30th — and we can’t wait to see what will be reeled in than.
Tight lines until then!
