Reel Warrior

Combat Veteran Fishing & Outdoors

Reel Warrior

Our Mission

Reel Warrior fishing is a nonprofit organization with a laser sharp focus on America’s Veterans who were severely injured in combat.  We introduce fishing as an adaptive sport and provide outdoor recreation to rehabilitate America’s combat Veterans who are amputees, burn victims, and those who benefit emotionally from peer support.   We start with flyfishing workshops and bass fishing training.  Veterans who enjoy competition are sponsored to compete in bass fishing tournaments along with pro angler partners.  We also sponsor several group trips to build connections and develop lifetime supportive friendships.  We rely on professional guides, pro tournament anglers and volunteers to mentor and support our mission.  Most volunteers involved are also combat veterans.  We have no paid staff and 100% of donation funds go to veteran services, equipment and events.

We Educate and Inspire

Healing through respect

All Veterans know sacrifice, know loyalty and respect.  When we leave service, we know disappointment and periods of feeling misunderstood, or worse, rejected for our service.  People who respect the outdoors, the current, the wind, the energy in water, also respect sacrifice.  It takes a heart of adventure and courage to serve.  It takes the same heart to explore and again feel vulnerable to heal.
