WELCOME ANGLERS
Welcome to the National Anglers Initiative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving water bodies for fellow anglers to enjoy. Whether you find yourself fishing the waters of Lake Winnebago, hunting the marshes of the Wolf River, or visiting the Lake Butte Des Morts sand bars in a pontoon boat, this group is for you. Our community of members shares a passion for spending time on the water, and recognizes the value in a connected group of anglers, hunters, and boaters.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the resources available to all anglers who enjoy the sport of fishing. We strive to provide resources, education, and community events that enhance the fishing, hunting, and boating experience while raising funds to make noticeable improvements to the infrastructure present on various lake and river systems. We will begin our efforts on the Lake Winnebago System in Northeast Wisconsin.
