The Fishing Hot Spots Hodag Musky Challenge would also not be possible without the support of local area business sponsors. The Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce sends heartfelt thank yous to Fishing Hot Spots, Shoeder’s RV & Marine, and the Musky Shop, as well as the many businesses and donors for the Challenge’s raffle prizes.
