- December 7 – 16: Public judging is now closed for the Category 3 Advanced Fly Rods.
During these time periods, individuals encouraged their friends, family and colleagues to vote by sharing their favorites with them on social media! Together we celebrated the tremendous talents of PHWFF veteran participants and the great work being done by PHWFF volunteers across the Nation.
Now in its 12th year, the National Fly Rod Building Competition focused on expanding the therapeutic experience for disabled veterans participating in PHWFF programs by giving them the experience of building their own fly rods to further their physical and mental rehabilitation through the sport of fly fishing. The program also has a fun competition component which gives participants the chance to win prizes for their rod building abilities.
