Who are we? Most 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? Fly Fishing for Vets 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: E-mail us at Fly Fishing for Vets |

| 2nd Annual Georgia Fishing for Vets Day was in one word, AWESOME! Thinks to all the volunteers (130) and to our veterans (88). We hope everyone had a great time, enjoyed the food, and comradeship of the day. |
