Project Healing Waters Ontario Trip — We Need Your Help!

I stumbled upon Project Healing Waters while attending a National Capital Council Trout Unlimited meeting in Bethesda. NCC-TU President George Gaines asked if anybody wanted to help out at Walter Reed with a program to help wounded soldiers learn to fly fish. I only live a few blocks from the hospital so I popped in on a couple of brown bag lunches and met some of the soldiers and volunteers. It is an amazing program started a few years back by Ed Nicholson, a retired Navy Captain. Fly fishing is used as a means of rehabilitating the body and soul as these heros adjust after returning home from combat. It has been a very rewarding experience and I am really honored to fish with these young men and women.

I told my contacts at Wilderness North about the program and their response really caught me off guard. The folks at Wilderness North have donated the planes, boats, food and lodging to make this dream trip a reality for wounded soldiers from across North America. We need your help to seal the deal. I need to raise funds to cover the airfare to get these individuals to and from Thunder Bay, Ontario from their homes all over North America.

Fish On!

Somehow the brookies survived the horrible drought of 2007. I don't know how they do it but I am pleased to report that the Blue Ridge brookies were just destroying a pheasant tail hanging a foot or two down from an elk hair caddis last week. I plan on checking out the Keystone state for a couple of days next week to see how some of my favorite mountain streams are shaping up this Spring.

If you have any questions, comments or ideas you can write us at : feedback@nativebrooktrout.com. We look forward to fishing with you in 2008.

Fish on!
