Home»Fly Fishing for Veterans

The Veterans Fly Fishing Program is a unique opportunity for military veterans and first responders. The Cohutta Chapter of Trout Unlimited conducts free fly fishing lessons and on-the-water experience to participants. Photos in this gallery show a group veterans and first responders trying out their newly acquired skills on a section of the upper Etowah River in North Georgia. All of these "students" are mentored by a volunteer member ("Buddy") of the Cohutta Chapter, Trout Unlimited. The goal of the program is to experience nature's beauty and embrace the mental peace and therapeutic value of fly fishing. For information or to register, contact Rob Hilton, [email protected]
