“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.” — Loren Eiseley

The water is home for many of us, and our programs tap into this natural remedy for tens of thousands of new and returning veterans every year.

The sound of flowing water, the rhythmic motion of the current, and the immersive experience of fly fishing creates a therapeutic environment. This connection is for everyone, you just have to give it a try.

We harness the natural healing properties of water to aid in the growth of our veterans after their time in the service.

“For years after retiring, I isolated myself. I didn’t know how to ask for help. But PHW didn’t make me feel needy. They made me feel welcome.”

The simple act of standing next to another Veteran in a river, sharing stories, or not saying anything at all, became transformative. Healing doesn’t always require words. It just requires presence.

Did you know fly fishing requires you to slow down?

Watching the current, reading the water, noticing insect activity, adjusting your presentation. It's one of the few activities that naturally encourages patience and presence. You can't rush a river. For many Veterans, that's part of what makes fly fishing so powerful. For a few hours, the distractions fade away. The only thing that matters is the next cast.
