50% of Your Subscription Fee is Donated Each Month: We donate half of every subscription fee to a different fly fishing-focused charity each month.

This month, your generosity is going to one of the most respected and impactful organizations in the fly fishing world—Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing.
Who is Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing?
Founded in 2005, Project Healing Waters is a nonprofit organization with a simple but powerful mission: to aid the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled veterans and active military service members through fly fishing.
Fly fishing is more than a hobby—it’s a therapeutic experience. By teaching participants how to tie flies, cast lines, and experience the calm of the water, Project Healing Waters provides:
Emotional Resilience: Fly fishing encourages patience, mindfulness, and stress relief, all essential components of mental well-being.
Community & Camaraderie: Veterans are brought together with instructors and peers, forming friendships that go beyond the water's edge.
Tangible Skills & Achievements: From learning to tie flies to mastering the perfect cast, participants experience the joy of growth and accomplishment.
This isn’t just about fishing—it’s about healing. It’s about giving veterans a new purpose, a new passion, and a sense of belonging.
Why We Chose Project Healing Waters This Month
At The Fly Box LLC, we believe that fly fishing should be a force for good. And what better way to honor that belief than by supporting an organization that uses fly fishing as a tool for healing and recovery?
Many of us turn to the water for clarity, peace, and reflection—imagine how much more powerful that experience is for someone navigating the challenges of post-service life. Project Healing Waters gives veterans and service members a chance to reconnect with themselves, nature, and their community.
Their work aligns perfectly with the mission behind Casts That Care: using fly fishing as a catalyst for change. Thanks to your subscription, more veterans will have access to these life-changing opportunities.
Where Does Your Money Go?
You may be wondering how your subscription fee is making an impact. Here’s a snapshot of how your support is put to work:
Fly Tying Kits & Gear: Providing participants with the tools to learn, craft, and perfect their fly-tying skills.
Hands-On Instruction: Funding on-site classes, workshops, and guided fishing experiences with trained instructors.
Program Expansion: Supporting the development of new chapters and allowing more veterans to participate in the healing power of fly fishing.
This isn’t just about funding fly rods or equipment. It’s about creating pathways for healing, growth, and recovery.
