Monday, I was privileged to join a few other fly fishermen with boats at Pacific City to take disabled veterans fly fishing for a day.
Joel LaFollette who owns Royal Treatment Fly Shop in West Linn partners up every year with Project Healing Waters to make this happen.
Project Healing Waters is:
"Dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings."
Basically, a bunch of vets show up at a dock in Pacific City and a group of volunteers with boats take them out fly fishing for Sea Run Cuts in the Nestucca.
The vets love it and but I think that we rowers get as much or more out of it than they do.
I highly encourage any active military members or vets to check it out. Please pass this along to other vets that you may know.
Thanks
