David 82nd 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2017 Hey guys , I'm a vet, and I know there's many more here , recently I have tried to contact this group but no response , I follow their outings and I know they actually do marathon fly tying weekends to make boxes of flys up for vets in the program , I was wondering if anybody here is involved ? I tie so many flies I figured I'd make a few boxes up and donate to this great cause , just can't get a response from anybody there , any input is appreciated , maybe it's the links I'm using or I'm just not contacting the proper people? Just trying to do a good thing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2017 r u contacting the national office or a regional office near your area? i gave up long ago trying to donate fly rods and flies when i never received a response from my regional office Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David 82nd 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2017 Been trying to contact regional as well , hmm seeing you've gone through this as well is sad , I guess they feel they don't need anything ? Or just boost social media with positive pictures and experiences ? That's kind of a let down , could you imagine if everyone of us here tied up a box for them ? Could be a lot of flies , oh well I'll keep ears open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mybadhabit 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2017 I work with the North Texas and Oklahoma PHW, and it can take a while to hear back from the local coordinators due to the amount of work that they do. What part of the US are you in? Blane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prybis 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2017 I am a Vet and Volunteer with my local PHW Chapter. I know our Local Coordinator is very busy, as is our Regional Coordinator. I work with the Indianapolis, Indiana program. We usually have a tying event before spring to help us get donated flies. It is nice to see people are trying to donate but also a bummer that some of the Coordinators are not getting back to people try to contact them. We also have a facebook page. Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Indianapolis, Indiana Program. If I can help I will do my best. Mike Prybis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
