🎣Event Highlight: Team Virginia

Charles H. joined guide Cy on the South Holston River in Tennessee for a float trip with The Fly Box, one of the best tailwater trout fisheries in the country.

TVA held off on generation longer than expected, so the team adjusted plans and moved downstream to chase the rising water instead. The morning started cool and foggy, then brought an hour of heavy rain before the sun broke through for a beautiful afternoon float.

Charles, new to fly fishing, landed a rainbow trout within minutes of getting instruction from Cy, the first of many. Between the two of them, they boated roughly 20 trout in the first half of the float alone.

When the water dropped and the group reached takeout earlier than planned, Cy went above and beyond, relaunching the boat at a second put-in with clear, low water that isn't typically productive. The extra effort paid off with 10 more trout before the day wrapped up in the late afternoon.

Another great day of fishing, camaraderie, and a guide who made sure the trip was one to remember.

We’ve updated The Fallen Outdoors LinkedIn page to better reflect who we are, who we serve, and why our mission matters.

The Fallen Outdoors is a veteran-run, all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing no-cost therapeutic outdoor adventures for Veterans, active-duty Service Members, and Gold Star families across the United States.

Through hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and other outdoor experiences, our goal is about much more than simply getting people outdoors.

It's about Hope, Connection & Healing.

It's about rebuilding the camaraderie many Veterans miss after leaving the military. It's about creating relationships and a community that lasts long after the trip is over. And it's about bringing Veterans, volunteers, outdoor partners, businesses, sponsors, and communities together to help combat Veteran su***de.

As we continue growing our presence here on LinkedIn, we'll be sharing more of our missions, our Veterans, our volunteers, our partners, and the incredible people who make The Fallen Outdoors possible.

🦀Event Highlight: Team Virginia

One Veteran joined the crew for a behind-the-scenes look at a full day of commercial crabbing on the water — and what a day it was. We met up before sunrise, motored out as the sky started to light up, and had our first line in the water as soon as we could spot the buoys. From there, it was nonstop — the bay was holding more crabs than this crew has seen in 20 years, and we could barely keep the box clean.

After a few hours on the lines, we broke for lunch and swapped stories with the crew before jumping right back in. By the end of the day we’d hauled in 23+ bushels of crabs. Helped clean up the boat, rode back to the dock with the breeze at our backs, then loaded everything up for delivery to Capt. Jim’s Crabs & Seafood Market — got to see the restaurant side of the operation and steam up a batch to take home with some corn on the side.

Simple day. Good crew. Great crabs. Hands down one of our favorite trips of the year. 🦀

🎣 Event Highlight: Team Oregon

This marked Team Oregon's fourth year participating in the Oregon Tuna Classic tournament!

A huge thank you to everyone who put in for the trip, and a special shoutout to Eli H., Cody R., Morgan T., and Mike S. for making this a year to remember.

The group arrived Thursday evening, then hit the water hard and early for Big Fish Friday. The team finished with the better half of the pack while most teams struggled to bring in fish, landing 11 tuna for an above-average day.

The tournament kicked off Saturday morning. The team got out, found plenty of life, and scratched out five fish for the day, including one weighed in for the pelagic pot. Unofficially, that's good for second place, edged out only by a bluefin tuna.

Can't wait to do it again next year!

🎣 Event Highlight: Team Missouri & Women's Council

Team Missouri and The Women's Council paired up to host six female Veterans on the first Annual Woman's Fishing Trip at Truman Lake, where the group spent their days chasing catfish and their nights out on the water bow fishing.

The ladies ROCKED IT! From learning to handle a bow on a moving boat in the dark to reeling in catfish under the Missouri sun, these Veterans dove headfirst into two brand-new skills over the course of the weekend. We missed a lot along the way, but that didn't stop the laughter, the teamwork, or the fun — this crew brought the energy from start to finish.

A HUGE THANK YOU to our boat captains — **Will Guthrie, Tom Kohler, Travis Kling, and Mike Helsley**. These guys worked hard, with little to no rest and no complaints, running bow fishing trips at night and catfishing excursions during the day. Keeping this group on the water and having a blast the entire time was no small task, and they showed up for every minute of it.

Thank you to The Women's Council for securing lodging for the group, and a huge thanks to **Stephenie Fleming** for mentoring the trip host through her first time hosting a trip — a true team effort from start to finish.

Special thanks to **Will Hernandez** and **Lonnie Johnson** for acquiring donations to help feed everyone on the trip! This weekend was a reminder of what's possible when a community comes together for our Veterans.

🎣 Event Highlight - Team Wisconsin: 4th Annual Green Bay Carnage – Veteran Edition 🎣

Another Green Bay Carnage is officially in the books, and what an incredible day it turned out to be!

We started the week not knowing what Mother Nature was going to give us. The forecast started with strong east winds and storms, then changed to scattered rain, and finally… bluebird skies today! ☀️

The wind, however, decided to stick around. It was definitely a bouncy ride getting out this morning, but that sure didn't stop our veterans from getting out there — and it sure was a day the fish were feeding!

🎣 41 Walleyes
🐟 17 King Salmon
🐟 1 Trout

As great as the fishing was, this event has never been just about the fish.

It's about getting veterans outdoors. It's the conversations on the water, the laughs, the stories, the new friendships, and giving veterans a day surrounded by people who understand. That's what makes this event special.

After a great morning on the water, everyone came back together for the cookout and one heck of a meal — fresh-picked "Cooler Corn," fresh & local brats and burgers, tuna salad, apple & grape salad, and Watergate salad.

❤️ A very special shoutout to Wesley & Michelle Bebos! These two put in an incredible amount of work cooking all the amazing food, making the sides, and handling so much of the behind-the-scenes prep work. The food was a HUGE hit, and everyone went home with stuffed bellies! Wesley and Michelle, thank you for everything you did to help make this day what it was.

🎣 EVENT HIGHLIGHT: TEAM FLORIDA

Mission

The Fallen Outdoors – Team Florida partnered with Captain Mike Allegri and his veteran-owned charter business to get five veterans out on Tampa Bay for a morning of inshore fishing, camaraderie, and time on the water.

The mission was simple: get veterans outdoors, create connections, and provide an opportunity to relax, have fun, and enjoy the healing benefits of fishing.

🎯 MISSION RESULTS

5 Veterans | Tampa Bay, Florida | Successful Mission

The original goal was to chase Florida's legendary Inshore Slam—Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Trout.

The veterans put together an impressive day on the water and brought aboard:

🐟 5 Triple Tail
🐟 3 Redfish
🎣 2 Snook
🐟 2 Mangrove Snapper
🐟 1 Flounder

While the Inshore Slam may have been the objective, the crew came home with an even better result—five veterans who got to spend a morning together on the water, fishing, laughing, and making memories.

🇺🇸 OVERALL ASSESSMENT

Mission accomplished.

Days like this are about much more than the fish we catch. They're about giving veterans an opportunity to step away from the everyday grind, get outdoors, build camaraderie, and simply enjoy time with people who understand the value of service and sacrifice.

A huge thank you to Captain Mike Allegri for opening his boat and his business to our veterans and helping make this trip possible.

And thank you to everyone who supports The Fallen Outdoors and Team Florida. Your support allows us to continue putting veterans in the outdoors and creating experiences that go far beyond the day on the water.

5 veterans.
13 fish.
One hell of a morning.
Countless memories.

🎣🇺🇸 This is what getting veterans outdoors is all about.

🎣 Event Highlight: Team Alaska

The Fallen Outdoors hit the Kenai River for an unforgettable sockeye salmon trip alongside Crazy J and his crew! Team Alaska veterans put their skills to the test flossing for sockeye, and the river did not disappoint — most of the group limited out in just a couple of hours, reeling in some seriously impressive fish along the way.

Between the fast action, the big sockeye, and the camaraderie on the water, this trip was a perfect reminder of why we do what we do. Time on the water, time with fellow veterans, and memories that last a lifetime — that's Hope, Connection & Healing in action.

Huge thanks to Crazy J and crew for hosting an incredible day on the Kenai!
