Project Healing Waters brings the world of fly fishing - and through it, hopefully, physical and emotional rehabilitation, to disabled veterans all over the country. Volunteers help vets learn fly fishing, fly tying, rod-building, and all the amazing joys of the sport. And the program is having an impact. To date, 9000 disabled veterans have taken part, and the program grows each year.
