Two summers ago, 16-year-old Vick Tan caught a five-pound largemouth bass while fishing on Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. He called it a wonderful experience. For Vick, fishing brings a strong sense of belonging and keeps him away from distractions like social media. His 15-year-old brother William also loves fishing, as it is super relaxing and helps him reduce stress.
Supported by research showing these emotional benefits, the two brothers founded Fish Hut in 2023. The organization aims to improve young people’s emotional health through fishing. So far, it has served thousands of teens across five US states, mainly in Minnesota, and also in Alaska, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. More and more teenagers have begun to fall in love with this quiet outdoor activity.
One key work of Fish Hut is giving away free “fish hut” boxes filled with all fishing tools, including retractable rods, reels, hooks, bait and sinkers. Sponsors donate these supplies, and the boxes are placed in community centres and parks for kids to use. It makes fishing easier for those who cannot afford the equipment.

Fish Hut also holds free fishing events. It hosted a fishing festival on Long Island Sound last July, where kids made friends and put their phones aside. In winter, the group organizes an annual ice fishing festival on Lake Minnetonka. Volunteers drill ice holes, set up heated tents, teach new skills and give away prizes. Even in cold weather, over 200 people joined this year’s event. William still remembers a 9-year-old girl catching a big pike on her first trip.
The Tan brothers work hard to create unforgettable outdoor experiences for teens. They love nature and enjoy sharing the fun of fishing with young people. They hope more teens can relax, stay away from pressure, and connect with nature and peace through this relaxing activity—fishing.
