Pike-Wayne Trout Unlimited members support local veterans programs such as Fin Chaser Warrior Outdoors and Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. These programs aim to use the power of the outdoors, fishing, and a supportive community to assist veterans in healing the wounds of war. Chapter members, many of whom are veterans themselves, assist veterans in learning all aspects of fly fishing. Through bi-monthly events, participants learn casting, fly tying, leader building and rod building skills that are reinforced with on-the-water experiences on local streams. These experiences lead to friendships and bring a connectedness and community to participants, removing the isolation that many veterans feel.
