The Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF) – Quantico Chapter hosted the 2nd Annual Gray Whiskey River outing to the South Fork Shenandoah River, Sat., May 18. More than 22 Volunteer Guides, Warriors and family members from the Quantico and Fort Belvoir programs attended the all-day event near Rileyville, Va. These are our Warriors and family members on the grass and the Gray family at the top of the stairs.

Participants fished on 300-400 yards of direct access to the Shenandoah River. The weather was overcast with occasional drizzle but those who fished were able to land bluegill, crappie, small mouth bass, and chubs. All equipment was provided to the Warriors and family members.

The homemade bag lunch and hot dinner were donated by neighbors, friends and family members.

This year’s event included several family members of Warriors and Volunteer Guides and also a service dog, Chance, who was welcomed as part of the PHW family.

This annual event is held on the private property of Maston and Nanette Gray; the property is named “Whiskey River.” The “Gray Whiskey River” event has now become an annual outing the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. (Photos by Lalita Laksbergs)

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)
