Project Healing Waters - Northeast Tennessee

Project Healing Waters - Northeast Tennessee PHWFF Northeast TN is dedicated to the members, volunteers and families of those who have served. It is much more than a one day fishing trip.

The Project’s program provides basic fly fishing, fly casting, fly tying and rod building classes, along with clinics for wounded and injured personnel ranging from beginners to those with prior fly fishing and tying experience who are adapting their skills to their new abilities. All fly fishing and tying equipment is provided to the participants at no cost. Fishing trips, both one day and multi-

day are also
provided at no cost to the participants. Project Healing Waters is unique in that our volunteers are teaching classes on an on-going, long term basis. For many participants, particularly disabled veterans, the socialization and camaraderie of the classes are just as important as the fishing outings, and provide them a new activity..

Back to the basics. We had an introductory class to introduce new participants to fly tying tools and uses. Super basic class focused on getting the tools of the trade into the hands of those wanting to learn every aspect of the sport. HUGE thank you to the volunteers and leaders who assisted with the class. You guys are the best!
