Who are we?

Many of us are veterans ourselves and members of various Georgia Trout
Unlimited Chapters, the Atlanta Fly Fishing Club, NGTO, and the Georgia
Women Flyfishers.  Many of the retired service members know personally
what our wounded heroes and their families are going through and are
dedicated to making their lives a little easier.  Others like you just wanting to
help.

What is it we want to do?

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing - Atlanta is a non-profit foundation
dedicated to the wounded warriors and their family.  Our goals are to provide
free services to the veteran and his or her spouse and children.  It all begins
with the basic concept of taking the veteran fly fishing over a two day period,
but we don’t stop there.  We believe the experience should include the whole
family and we provide that needed and well deserved down time to the spouse
and children.  While the veteran is fly fishing we provide the spouse with time to
herself at a Spa.  To do this we also provide babysitting services that is age
based.  Services for the children can range from simple day care to visiting a
butterfly center, hiking or horseback riding for the older children.  Older
children are always welcome to fish with their parent.  Like similar
organizations dedicated to the veteran we believe in the healing effects that
being in a peaceful setting among friends and family who care provides a
welcome relief from the stress of recovery.

We enjoy feedback:  Let us know if there's a wounded warrior you know of
that wants to go fishing, or if you would like to donate to this wonderful
opportunity contact us at:
