This video says it all. ✨

This year, our brand new Richmond project will mentor 4 youth in foster care through fly fishing, conservation, and time spent outdoors with caring mentors. What may seem like “just fishing” can become confidence, healing, connection, and a lifelong passion for these kids.

We’re currently looking for support from the community as we grow this project — whether that’s through donations or simply helping spread the word.

Huge thank you to Ambri and Dane Heimermann for their generous donation to our upcoming raffle (details coming soon!).

They own and run a charming home on Elk Creek () that’s perfect for summer getaways, family trips, or a quiet escape. Nestled in the heart of historic Millheim, PA, it offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and outdoor adventure.

Just steps from one of Central PA’s most beautiful trout streams—and within reach of miles of scenic gravel roads for biking or a slow drive—it’s a true retreat.

We’re incredibly grateful for their support. Stay tuned 🎣

Huge thank you to Derrick and Karen Barr of Escatawba Farms () for supporting our newest project here in RVA with their donation.

From the beautiful land it sits on to the hand-drawn map you’re given when you arrive, every detail at Escatawba is thoughtful and intentional. Add in their incredible hospitality and a stream full of trophy trout, and it’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

We’re grateful to have them as part of our upcoming event and raffle. More details coming soon 🎣

Shoutout to Boyd Waters of Fly Fishing Studios () for donating to our upcoming raffle.

Boyd is known for his incredibly detailed, often elaborate flies, each one a mix of creativity, precision, and time at the vise. But what makes his work really stand out is the story behind it.

He got his start in fly tying through Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing after returning from deployment in Iraq with the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Division Airborne. What began as a form of therapy has grown into a lasting creative outlet and a meaningful part of how he connects with the water and the community.

Excited to share what he’s contributed to the raffle. Follow along for more info! 🎣

A huge thank you to Douglas Dear of Rose River Farm () for supporting our upcoming raffle.

Rose River Farm sits right on one of the most iconic native brook trout streams in Virginia, tucked into the Blue Ridge. Douglas has created a space that feels both intentional and low-key- private water access, thoughtful lodging, and a true “step out the door and fish” kind of experience.

It’s the kind of place that sticks with you after you leave.

Follow along for raffle updates and a closer look at what he’s donated!
