Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you to all that participated in our rod building program during this challenging time. It has been my pleasure to work with each of you even though we had to discontinue the on-site classes early on in the process. 
It is my hope that you will be able to join us again in the future in a classroom setting.

"A day on the river is a good day –
even if it is raining and the fish aren’t biting. It doesn’t matter because you have
the perfect peace to get through the day and
take away the stress."

Our Mission

In the fulfillment of this mission, we work with wounded or disabled active military service personnel and veterans in Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals.

Our History

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. (PHWFF) was founded in 2005, serving wounded military returning from combat at Walter Reed Medical Center. In 2009 PHWFF became an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Project Healing Waters Winston-Salem, NC and PHWFF is supported by tax-deductible donations, grants, and fundraising activities. Project Healing Waters Winston-Salem, NC was established in April 2013 by Roy Davidson, Program Leader, Ron Zambor, Assistant Program Leader, Bill Britt, Barry Johnson, Jr., and Sam Ogburn. By teaching the basics of fly fishing, the sport we love, and through many on-stream outing, we help to rehabilitate and heal those who have given so much. This program is partnered with the VA Outpatient Clinic and the Blue Ridge Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
