January 22, 2020 Fish Untamed: Ep 15 - Project Healing Waters, with Eddy Wittry
Eddy Wittry was, until recently, the Program Lead for the Denver chapter of Project Healing Waters, a non-profit dedicated to helping disabled veterans through fly fishing, fly tying, and rod building. This program benefits vets suffering from both physical and mental disabilities by transitioning them back into civilian life at their own pace, using the therapeutic qualities of time on the water casting a fly. Eddy has grown the Denver program dramatically in just a few short years and hopes to continue increasing the number of volunteers and volunteer hours to make a positive impact on the veterans who have served our country.
