How We Help
We are a leading nonprofit using fly fishing as therapeutic intervention for active military and Veterans. Through our curriculum of fly fishing, fly casting, fly tying, and rod building, participants experience nature’s restorative healing powers while building camaraderie, connectedness, and community—directly increasing their sense of belonging, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. We are actively serving over 7,000 Veteran participants across all service eras with support from almost 4,000 dedicated volunteers.
