Dr. Joe Hess teaching his first class at the Poultry Center after retirement from AU. His class was tying Rubber Leg Dragon to Veterans. AND Gary finished his fly rod. He originally built it with his daughter in mind using her collegiate colors. She transferred and so he stripped it down and decided to redo it with each of the wraps representing each of the locations he served.

Ever wondered how a fly rod is crafted rather than manufactured?

Join us for a hands-on session with Jim Upchurch, a lifelong machinist turned bamboo rod builder. Jim grew up in his dad’s machine shop learning the art of precision—cutting metal to exact tolerances on lathes and mills. Now, he applies that same obsessive attention to detail to something a bit more natural: bamboo.

“It’s a sickness… but a good one!” — Jim

Come see how split cane becomes art, and how craftsmanship and fly fishing come together, one taper at a time.

🎣 DM us to RSVP and for time and location details! Open to the public!

Did you watch our recent film celebrating twenty years of the healing journey?

Yesterday, we proudly launched our short film, Twenty Years of the Healing Journey, across all our social platforms. This film captures the impactful work we've been doing nationwide over the past two decades, showcasing the lives touched and the communities strengthened through our mission.

For twenty years, Project Healing Waters has been more than just fly fishing—it’s been about healing, connection, and finding purpose. Through fly fishing, fly tying, rod building, and, most importantly, building a supportive and understanding community or as we like to call, tribe, we’ve created something incredible. This film celebrates just that.

If you haven’t seen it yet, take a moment to watch and see what two decades of dedication, passion, and unity look like.
