Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. (PHWFF) is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings.

PHWFF is about much more than just taking disabled veterans fishing. It is about coaching, mentoring, and friendship on a journey of healing.

“Project Healing Waters has given me a support system with a network of other vets who help me through the hardest days. I know I have people to talk to when I am struggling the most.” – PO2, U.S. Navy (ret)

You can help provide the veterans we serve with the support they need on their journeys to recovery.

PHWFF began in 2005 serving wounded military service members at Walter Reed Army Medical Center returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then, PHWFF has expanded nationwide, establishing over 200 highly successful programs in Department of Defense hospitals, Warrior Transition Units, and Veterans Affairs Medical Centers and clinics.

In 2016 alone, PHWFF served 7,514 injured and disabled military service personnel and disabled veterans. 

PHWFF is unique in that our volunteers are teaching classes on an on-going, long term basis. It is much more than a one-time fishing trip. For many participants, particularly disabled veterans, the socialization and camaraderie of the classes are just as important as the fishing outings, and provide them a new activity and community.

All fly fishing and tying equipment is provided to the participants at no cost. Fishing trips, both one day and multi-day, are also provided free of charge to participants.
