Hero Fishing provides educational, therapeutic and recreation programming, through fishing adventures, educational seminars and creating a family environment for all our Heroes, which come from all walks of life. Numerous studies have shown that traumatic events not only effect the psychological structures of the self, but also the attachment and meaning that link individuals and their families together. All our programs seek to restore those disconnects. They allow our Heroes a chance to have social interactions and bond with other fellow Heroes, while enjoying the sport of fishing. For 2023, we are expanding are programming to include Kayak Fishing Adventures for our Heroes. Hero Fishing is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) public charity, with an all-volunteer staff.
