Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHW) is a nation-wide 501(c)(3) dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing, fly tying, rod building and associated activities including education and outings. PHW uses the restorative activities of fly fishing to provide participants with pathways toward resiliency through connectedness and community. We offer a very special kind of rehabilitative experience: healing based not only on the fly rod and fly-tying vise, but also the incredible curative power of camaraderie among fellow veterans and the mentoring and friendship provided by caring volunteers.
The North Sound Program of PHW started in 2024 as a satellite of the Joint Base Lewis-McChord Program. The North Sound Program covers Snohomish, Island, Skagit, and Whatcom counties in northwest Washington State.
