Fishing for Wellness

Bolstering wellness on and off the water

Fishing for Wellness (FFW) is a group-based approach to overcoming challenge and adversity. FFW teaches participants how to fish (traditional and/or fly-fishing) with the intention to enhance wellness and encourage sustainable, balanced living. From prepping the trip, to the rhythm of casting, FFW is designed to help individuals approach living with greater purpose and intention.
