Making a Difference!
Chaska Fishing with Friends is a 100% volunteer run non-profit. Our program is dependent on donations and volunteers to keep us a float. We have been serving our local community and surrounding area for over 12 years and have served over 12,000 participants!
Some of the events that we offer include our Family Fishing Academy, Virtual Fishing Contests, Educational Shore Fishing, and Pontoon Fishing Events. We serve everyone, including the youth, families, adults, active older adults, disabled, and our veterans. In expanding our reach, we have teamed up with many local organizations such as the Chaska Police Department, local area schools, Chaska Community Center, MN DNR, Chaska Cares, and many more!

Participant Feedback
In our facilities we sit in air conditioning and watch birds in cages. When we go out with Fishing with Friends, we feel the fresh air in our faces and see eagles, loons and ducks.
Thank you Fishing with Friends. What a wonderful organization. Our grandchildren had a ball at the Youth Fishing Clinic on Saturday. They got their father to take them fishing the very next day. You have a great group of volunteers. They put on a well organized and informative clinic. Great job.
Dear Fishing with Friends, Skipper Carl and First Mate Sandy. Thank you so much for a fabulous time on Tuesday. We all had so much fun, you two were just great! What a wonderful organization. The dock helpers were so nice to us too. We appreciate all you did for us. Thank you. Your friends at Peace Village.
