About Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing San Francisco Program
Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is much more than a one-time fishing trip: our unique program helps veterans working to overcome the mental and physical stress of service. We strive to help those who have served our nation by offering on-going, year-round support, classes and outings. Our full spectrum, high quality, therapeutic recreation programs offer disabled veterans and active duty service personnel: 
For many participants, our classes and the associated socialization and camaraderie are just as important as our fishing outings and provide a new and rewarding activity. To remove any financial barriers for disabled veterans and active duty service personnel, all equipment, classes and fishing outings are offered at no cost to PHWFF participants and all funds for the PHWFF San Francisco Program are raised annually by its volunteers.

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing offers therapeutic outdoor recreation for disabled veterans and active duty military personnel through the successful application of fly fishing as a rehabilitation tool. The In the News
The Golden Gate Angling & Casting Club and our Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing program were featured in the special 2020 Veterans Day edition of Catch Magazine’s online journal of fly-fishing photography and film.
"Casting to Heal" features stunning photography by PHWFF volunteer CJ Glynn and GGACC member Val Atkinson. Written by PHWFF volunteers Henry Little and Brian Miller, it describes the healing qualities of casting for our disabled military veteran participants, enabled by a strong cadre of GGACC volunteers helping those who have served our country. Moreover, the issue recounts the Club’s pioneering history and our robust array of current fly-fishing activities, the foundation upon which the PHWFF program succeeds.

Here you will also see a thumbnail for a previous Veterans Day edition, "Healing on the Fall" which captures a PHWFF outing to California’s Fall River in 2018.
