If anybody tells you that PHWFF is all about fly fishing they’ve forgotten a key element of our enduring success. Brats, sausages, venison sticks, pizzas, hamburgers cookies, and chips all factor into a successful night with vets whose tastes occasionally seek “simpler” fare!

Coming Soon:

1. Fly tying and vet recruitment, Main Dining Hall, Tuesday 7/16, 11-1PM

2. Fishing Outing:

Our volunteers include and are surrounded by heroes every week. Come and meet one. Give me a call!

Thanks for everything!
