We bring a high-quality, full-spectrum fly fishing program to an ever-expanding number of Veterans in need at over 200 locations nationwide.
Project Healing Waters programs meet regularly throughout the year with volunteers teaching the basics and advanced techniques while building long-term relationships. It is much more than a one-time fly fishing trip.
"You [PHWFF] have offered me another avenue to continue recovering physically and emotionally. I thank you for what you have offered me. Please keep up the good work."
"Look how your vision of bringing PHWFF here is having such an impact on the veterans."
"On behalf of the veterans, patients, and staff of the Department of Veterans Affairs, New Jersey Health Care System, please extend our sincere gratitude to you and your PHWFF members for two memorable days of fishing and for the ongoing fly tying and fly fishing program you have provided for our veterans."
“I look forward to seeing the excitement on the faces of new recruits when they catch a trout on flies that they tied themselves.” – Chuck Holley – U.S. Army Veteran
The weekend may have best been summed up by Reese when he said, “I wouldn’t have the freedom to fish if I didn’t have these Veterans providing that freedom for me.”
