Back to one of our favorite fishing spots—the Crooked River! 🎣

It was a great day on the water, with all 15 of our attendees catching fish! Great job, everyone!

We were especially glad to see more women veterans joining us, and we even got to welcome a visiting Project Healing Waters participant from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Good fishing, great company, and another fantastic day on the river.

A big thank you to Sue Kerver for delivering signed copies of her new book to our Project Healing Waters program!

Sue also spent some time with us sharing thoughtful advice on how we can better support and engage women veterans in our program. We’re grateful for her insight—and we’ve already started putting some of her suggestions into action.

And it didn’t take long for word to get around… we’ve already had requests for some of those signed books!

Thank you, Sue, for your generosity and for helping us continue to make Project Healing Waters a welcoming community for all veterans.

What a day on the Crooked River!

Several of our veterans described it as their “best fishing day ever.” The fishing was outstanding, with some morning catch counts topping 30 fish for the morning. More importantly, it was a day filled with camaraderie, confidence, and the simple joy of being on the water together.

As always, the Crooked River delivered more than great fishing. The spectacular canyon scenery provided a stunning backdrop for a memorable outing, reminding us why this river is such a special place. From rising trout to soaring canyon walls, every cast seemed to offer another reason to appreciate the experience.

Another great night at Project Healing Waters in Bend as we filled the tying tables with Klinkhammer Emergers tied in a variety of sizes and colors to match both our local river and lake mayflies. These versatile patterns will definitely see some action this season.

It was also a special gear giveaway evening, with veterans heading home with some incredible equipment including a float tube, a high-end rotary vise, fishing shirts, fly lines, tippet, indicators, and more.

Best of all, everyone walked away a winner — with new skills, new friendships, and more excitement for the days ahead on the water.

Another great day on the Fall River with our Project Healing Waters Bend crew. The fishing kept us thinking—nothing came easy—but that’s often where the best lessons are found. With a little patience, some experimentation, and a willingness to adjust, the group found success and brought a few beautiful, healthy fish to hand.

More importantly, it was a day of shared knowledge and steady progress. Whether it was refining a cast, dialing in a drift, or offering a tip that made the difference, everyone walked away a little sharper and a little more connected.
