A large gator made quite a splash and possibly a meal of one of these guys shortly after I took this shot, but I was too slow with the camera to make the capture. Guess I need to work on my single lens reflexes. Florida Botanical Gardens, Largo.

The Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF) – Quantico and Fort Belvoir Programs hosted a day trip on private access to the North Fork Shenandoah River near Maurertown, Va., Saturday, Aug. 25. Although the trip was a ‘short notice’ event, six Volunteer Guides and six Warriors from both programs attended the all-day event. Participants waded into the cool water and fished on more than a mile and a half of direct access to the Shenandoah River, on private property. Several different fish were caught including crappie, bluegill, small mouth bass, and sun fish; they were caught on woolly buggers, clouser minnows, nymphs, hares ear, and dry flies.

One new Warrior attended and was put on many fish!!

This event was held on the private property of a new PHWFF supporter and Navy veteran. The hospitality and scenery were incredible and the day’s fishing was a complete success. (Photos by David Kalis)

This is a locally famous location on the Ouachita River in Union Parish Louisiana. It is know for its good fishing, hence the name "Hooker Hole". The Ouachita River makes a couple of hard bends, which causes the river current to undercut the river banks. This has caused the the river to be deeper than normal at this point, holding large catfish. Also there is a sand bar that is favored by the local area residents for swimming and wading.
