ADOPTED by LARRY LUNCEFORD It's that time of year again. Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing has started! 24 warriors and their guides along with a myriad of volunteers have assembled for 3 days of fishing and camaraderie. Some have never fished before and some have, but they all have something in common. Problems to overcome from their service in the military. Some wounds are visible, some are not, but they all come to a common playing field and to hopefully forget the outside world and it's accompanying problems for a few days ... and to hopefully acquire a new passion to "take them away"! I happened to be walking by when this young man caught this trophy size trout and I was able to snap this shot of his guide "capturing" the moment. This is what it's all about and I'm guessing that everyone could hear this young man whooping and hollering a mile away! What a simple joy and what an amazing setting. I'm heading back to paint today. Not sure what I'll come up with, but it doesn't matter if there are more great moments like this one! Over and out little fishing buddies.
