Project Healing Waters at the Minneapolis Veterans Medical Facility


Project Healing Waters was founded by the Federation of Fly Fishers and Trout Unlimited. The purpose is to serve our military personnel who have been wounded, injured, or disabled. PHW introduces fly fishing and fly tying to our wounded Vets to support them during their physical and emotional recovery.

The project began in Washington, DC and then expanded nationwide offering its services and programs to active military personnel and veterans at hospitals throughout the country. MN has its very own active Project Healing Waters sponsored by the local chapter of Trout Unlimited (TCTU) and fishing clubs, tying clubs and individuals who volunteer their time. Consider volunteering for the Vet’s who fought for our freedom.

  • Add fishin' with a vet to your already busy schedule!

  • Make your TU contribution of time and energy to a vet!

  • Locate that old single-action reel in your collection (a vet needs it)!

  • Share some of your fur and feather collection in a session with a vet!

  • Figure out how to cast with one arm... perhaps sitting!

  • Imagine a woolly bugger made with one vet's hand and one of yours!

For more information contact TCTU or stay tuned for updates on upcoming events/outings.
