Ghillies Fly Shop Hackle & Tackle Colorado Springs CO

Ghillies Fly Shop and CMCTU have teamed on a special offer. TFO is a corporate sponsor of PHWFF and makes special 9’, 5-weight PHW Fly rod.

If you purchase one of these rods at Ghillies and donate it to CMCTU, they will donate the rod and an additional $40 to PHWFF and you will receive a donation letter for tax purposes. In addition, for each PHWFF rod purchased from a TFO dealer, TFO will donate $25 to PHWFF.

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF) aids the physical and emotional recovery of wounded military personnel through fly tying and fly fishing.

All services and activities of PHWFF, including fly fishing and tying materials and equipment, are provided to the participants at no cost. Specialized equipment is provided as needed.

There is no “membership” in PHWFF. Activities are staffed by volunteers from TU and FFF. Locally, CMCTU and the Pikes Peak Flyfishers (the local chapter of the FFF) have started a program with Ft. Carson’s Warrior Transition Unit (WTU). The WTU, which works with wounded soldiers, is expecting to grow to 600 soldiers. Sgt. Dennis Cline of the WTU and one of the wounded soldiers who participated in PHWFF at Walter Reed is the advisor to the chapter.
