A few nice Crappie Fishing images I found:

The Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF) – Fort Belvoir Program hosted the inaugural Massanutten Canoe Company & Campground trip to the South Fork Shenandoah River, Sat., July 20. More than 30 Volunteer Guides, Warriors and family members attended the all-day event in Bentonville, Va., located south of Front Royal, Va.
Members from four different PHWFF programs participated in the day’s events, to include Fort Belvoir, Quantico, Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC (Richmond, Va.) and Richlands – Camp Lejeune (NC).
Ellen Killough, the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Project Healing Waters, also attended and fished the event. Killough has been an active Volunteer with the PHWFF Fort Belvoir and Quantico programs for several years.
Participants fished direct access to the Shenandoah River. The weather was hot, humid with very little breeze and the fishing was challenging, but everyone was able to land a few bluegill, small mouth and crappie. All equipment was provided to the Warriors and family members.
A lunch of grilled hamburgers, pasta salad and cookies was donated by PHWFF. Water and soda were provided all day.
Saturday’s event included many family members of Warriors and Volunteer Guides and also a service dog, Chance, who has participated in other recent PHWFF events.
This trip was initially planned for 2011, but due to extreme rains in 2011 that ‘blew out’ the river, it was canceled. “We are really happy we were able to do this event this year,” said Bob Gartner, PHWFF Fort Belvoir program lead. “It’s been two years in the making.”
The use of the property was donated by Massanutten Canoe Company & Campground owner, Brenda Lockhart. (Photos by Lally Laksbergs)
