The REEL SERVICE PROJECT was initiated in 2013 to help raise funds for Veteran focused causes in the Fly Fishing community. That initial effort, which included a series of VEDAVOO packs made out of fabric provided by Patrick over at Recycled Waders, and featuring original artwork by Jeff Currier, set the stage for events to follow. The program continued successfully in 2014 and 2015 – pairing our work with original art from the industry’s best through a series of one-of-a-kind packs used to raise funds for worthy causes.
