Pay It Forward is a Fishing Extravaganza for Veteran’s, happening on Lake of the Woods on August 29th-September 1st, 2022. This event is put on as a Walleye Master Charity Event each year.
Lake of the Woods is known as the Walleye Capital of the World™ and it earns its name as being one of the finest fisheries around. As an outdoor hunting and fishing community, we have a lot to be thankful for. We live in an area of bountiful outdoor experiences, which includes world class Walleye fishing, excellent big game, waterfowl and grouse hunting.
We are fortunate to live in a four season outdoor paradise. This event is simply one way for our community to say thank you to the service members and their families who have served and fought on our behalf to protect the freedom that allows each and every one of us to pursue our dreams. Their sacrifices should be paid forward as a debt of gratitude and we welcome them to be guests in our community without any financial strain.
This is the 8th Annual Veteran’s Pay It Forward (with one year off due to COVID) and is a 3 Night/2 Day Fishing Extravaganza bringing injured and disabled Veterans to Lake of the Woods to honor, recognize and celebrate the men and women who have served our country in all branches of the service. It is our desire in creating this event to lead veterans to healing and happiness. Many sponsors organize this great opportunity for veterans each year. These participants are treated to guided charter fishing trips, outdoor fish frys, banquets, speakers, music and accommodations.
Many area resorts and businesses plus fishing companies sponsor the Veteran’s Pay It Forward event by providing funds, lodging and delicious food.
Veteran’s sacrifices should be Paid Forward as a debt of gratitude and we welcome them to be guests in our community at Baudette, MN and Lake of the Woods.
