Giving Back
For those that aren’t familiar with Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF), they do amazing hands-on work with disabled veterans, providing fly fishing and fly tying instruction through various chapters across the country. I started volunteering with PHWFF last year, and 10% of the sales of my artwork will be donated to this highly worthy organization.
​
PHWFF was founded in 2005 to help serve wounded military service members at Walter Reed Army Medical Center returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then, PHWFF has expanded nationwide, establishing its highly successful program in Department of Defense hospitals, Warrior Transition Units, and Veterans Affairs Medical Centers and clinics.

If you'd like to learn more about PHWFF, I'd encourage you to check out their website: https://projecthealingwaters.org/. There are all sorts of ways to help - and if you're considering volunteering but aren't sure if your technique is good enough - it doesn't matter. My casting form is average on a good day, and I'm pretty mediocre at tying flies...but it's about a lot more than just fishing.
