Mid Coast Fly Fishers are now offering local Project Healing Waters fishing outings on the Mosquito Lagoon for veterans from the Daytona Wellness Recovery Center.
Besides regular workshops for fly casting and fly tying at the VA and luncheons at nearby parks, our volunteers are providing boats and guide services for the some of the vets. This further expands the opportunities beyond class room activities and gets the vets out on the water.
Since the fishing is local we can avoid the expense of travel and lodging while still providing a low cost fishing outing with little planning.
This photo shows a vet with one of several fish caught. It always brings a smile to their face.
