| 説明 | More than 60 attended the 4th Annual Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Fly & Ice event at Harman’s North Fork Cottages in Cabins, W.Va., March 7-9. The event was hosted by the PHWFF Fort Belvoir and PHWFF Quantico Programs and more than 35 Warriors and several family members from six different PHWFF programs fished 1 ¾ miles of the private access trophy trout stream during the three-day weekend. In attendance at the three-day event were volunteer Guides, Warriors and family members from the two local programs in addition to members from programs at Camp Lejeune, N. C.; Martinsburg, W.Va.; Wilmington, N.C.; and Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center, Richmond, Va. For 14 Warriors, it was the first time they had traveled to Harman’s and 11 had never fly fished. The air temperatures were pleasant on Friday and on Saturday, rose into the mid 50s. Sunday’s weather cooled down, but that didn’t keep anyone off the water. Bigg Riggs Farm, owned by Calvin Riggleman, a Marine Iraq combat Veteran and small farmer from Loom, W. Va., provided all meals for the three-day event.Evenings were filled with various fly tying instruction at different cabins to include wet flies, soft hackle flies, streamers and clouser minnows and rod building. Volunteers and professional guides provided the instruction. Saturday evening included Warrior raffles for prizes donated by supporters from around the country. Additionally, several custom-designed United States Marine Corps rods, built by Doug Rink - Fort Belvoir PHWFF alum and owner of Mad Fly Angling - were presented to Marine Veterans at the Saturday evening event. Saturday evening also included a performance by The Buck Mountain Spring Band (all members from West Virginia) who stopped by to play some original Appalachian music for everyone.The inaugural “Iron Fly” Fly Tying Competition was held over the weekend with judging on Sunday morning. Several attendees participated and the winner was a young family member of one of the Warriors. The stream had been recently stocked by Harman’s with 1,000 pounds of rainbow and brown trout, ranging in size from 17 to 20 inches. Guides and Warriors caught fish throughout the weekend, including many of the new Warriors who attended for the first time.(photo submitted by Lally Laksbergs) |
