Today we had our annual Veterans and Women's Fly Fishing Day at Rolater Park in Cave Spring, GA. We helped lots of people catch fish on fly rods. Some were new faces, but there were also a bunch of returning ladies and Veterans, which we love to see. We also gave away 10 fly rods and provided a free lunch for everybody. Make sure you check out our website (coosavalleytu.org) for great events like this with our chapter and around Georgia. Big thanks to the Historic Cave Spring foundation for allowing us to use the beautiful park for fishing events!

Join us for our Veterans' and Women's Fly Fishing Day at the spring-fed pond at Rolater Park this Saturday, July 11, 2026. Women and Veterans are invited to fish for stocked trout in the pond and creek. Bring your fly rod, or borrow our equipment. Veterans can fly fish from 10AM-noon, and women have the pond from 1-3PM. Chapter members will be on hand to assist in fly fishing. A license and trout stamp are required to fish in the creek.

All participants are welcome to a free lunch, and many great prizes will be drawn randomly.

NEW this year: if you have your own fly rod and gear you may register and fish the pond during the event (not necessary to be a veteran or woman).

5 Fish may be kept from the pond. Please bring a bag and cooler.
