Fly Fishing for troops (Helping the troops 21)

As it gets warmer, time to start planning summer trips!

I read a great article in the American Legion magazine about organizations that will take veterans fly-fishing. The idea is that if you need to find an activity to help rehabilitate after injury, why not pick one that is a hell of a lot of fun and you might choose even if you didn't have to rehabilitate!

Here are some organizations that can help:

Project Healing Waters
www.projecthealing waters.org

Trout Unlimited
www.tu.org

Federation of Fly Fishers
www.fedflyfishers.org

Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation
www.warriorsandquietwaters.org

Rivers of Recovery
www.riversofrecovery.org

Sun Valley Adaptive Sports
www.svasp.org

Have fun!
