First annual Healing Waters picnic.

Antietam Fly Anglers, Creekside Anglers and Potomac Valley Fly Fishers hosted the first annual picnic for the Healing Waters fly fishers. The picnic was held after the soldiers spent several hours on Beaver Creek fly fishing. Many of the warriors caught Trout, including several wall hangers. All the fish were returned to fight another day.

Healing Waters is a program to help our wounded warriors recover.

We enjoyed the company of 9 warriors, 1 nurse, 2 mom, 1 dad and some girlfriends.

Really big Rainbow.

Number 3 for Jake. Not bad for a "first time" fisherman ... he'll be back!
