Thank you for your service!

Whenever you joined, whichever branch, you joined, for whatever reason you joined, I am thankful for the service of this nation’s Veterans. Less than one percent of Americans will ever raise her hand and swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. I am proud to have served with you, and to continue to support you through Project Healing Waters.

This Veterans Day, we’re celebrating the men and women who’ve worn our nation’s uniform, and the community that continues to serve through healing, purpose, and time on the water.

From November 8 at 12:00 AM EST through November 11 at 11:59 PM EST, take 20% off all shirts, sweatshirts, and hats in the Project Healing Waters store using code VETS20 at checkout.

Every purchase directly supports our mission, helping Veterans find connection, peace, and community through the healing power of fly fishing.

Have you ever written about your time on the water?

Across the country, some of our Project Healing Waters programs keep a special tradition, journaling after every outing. Each participant takes a few moments to write a note about their experience, what they learned, what they felt, or maybe just a memory they want to hold onto.

Those pages become something more than ink and paper, they become a record of growth, healing, and shared experience.

Do you journal or jot down notes after your own adventures on the water? We’d love to hear how you reflect on your time outside.

Join the Tribe. Heal on the Water.

At Project Healing Waters, we don’t just teach fly fishing, we build a community.

A tribe who understand what it means to serve, to struggle, and to rise again through purpose, connection, and the quiet rhythm of a fly cast.

If you’ve been searching for something more, a place to belong, to heal, to laugh, to find peace on the water, this is your sign. Whether you’re a Veteran, volunteer, or supporter, there’s a place for you here.

Join us. Find your tribe. Heal through service and the outdoors.

From coast to coast, we’re united by water, service, and a shared belief that time outside heals.

This isn’t just a hobby, it’s a brotherhood and sisterhood forged in the current.

Streamers and terrestrial top waters are picking up on Long Pine Creek at Pine Glen State Wildlife Management Area. This guy liked the foam beetle and a few others went for the black squirrel leech.

When a Veteran casts their first fly, it’s not just about fishing, it’s about reclaiming a part of themselves. Be the reason another Veteran finds healing on the water.

"It doesn't matter if I don't catch a single fish, just being out on the water and being outside has such an impact on my mental health. I will take any opportunity that I can to get outside and spend time with my tribe."

- Brian F., 5th SFG Veteran

Sometimes the first step toward healing is as simple as stepping outside.

There’s something powerful about being on the water, surrounded by nature, breathing fresh air, and feeling the quiet. Out there, the noise fades. The weight gets lighter. And little by little, you start to feel like yourself again.

Join us on the water. Healing begins here.
