Project Healing Waters

Project Healing Waters

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. Began In 2005 Serving Wounded Military Service Members At Walter Reed Army Medical Center Returning From Combat In Iraq And Afghanistan. Since Then, PHW Has Expanded Nationwide, Establishing Its Highly Successful Program In Department Of Defense Hospitals, Warrior Transition Units, And Veterans Affairs Medical Centers And Clinics.

Our local PHW effort is spearheaded by local Trout Unlimited members and the Buffalo Veteran's Administration Hospital. Our current activities include Fly tying events at the VA as well as opportunities to get out on the water.

The popular veterans fly tying program features fly tying, fishing instruction an fellowship, is open to all veterans and is free of charge. 

We're also ALWAYS looking for members willing to share their fly tying skills. So if interested email Ken Kinecki at projecthealingwaters@wnytroutunlimited.org and he'll help get you set up.
