    Who we serve:

    U.S. military veterans of all eras and abilities, along with their families, who benefit from time outdoors, shared experience, and community.

  • Three men in wheelchairs on a Yamaha boat on a lake with a ferry in the background.

    Our Program:

    FWAF provides no-cost, guided fishing experiences using professional bass boats, pontoons, kayaks, and shore access. We supply all gear, tackle, meals, and support for a safe, catch-and-release day on the water.

  • Person on a boat wearing a blue shirt with 'Fishing with America's Finest' text, surrounded by water and greenery.

    Why It Works:

    Fishing creates a calm, low-pressure environment that helps veterans relax, reconnect, and re-engage with others who share similar experiences—without judgment or expectation.
