OUR FLY FISHING PROGRAMS

PHWFF is unique in that our volunteers are teaching classes on an on-going, long term basis. It is much more than a one day fishing trip. For many participants, the socialization and camaraderie of the classes are just as important as the fishing outings.

PHWFF relies on Fly Fishers International, Trout Unlimited, and independent fly fishing clubs to conduct the program at the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs facilities across the nation. PHWFF volunteers include experienced fly fishers and guides, all of whom donate their time and knowledge to conduct programs at Department of Defense facilities, Warrior Transition Units and Department of Veterans Affairs facilities nationwide.

In order to have a viable program, three groups must co-exist:

A fly fishing club willing to provide the volunteers and organize the program.

A DOD or VA medical facility willing to host the program.

Injured military members or disabled veterans willing to participate.

Because each of these groups is unique, no two Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing programs will be exactly the same.
