NEWGLSF wants to help raise awareness to a younger audience of the importance and value of fishing. The opportunity to learn how and the benefits to help keep the conversation of fish alive and to put back in the Lakes as we take out so that the next generations will have the best opportunity to keep the sacred value of fish can bring to us all.
