Program

Fly Fishing for Vets and First Responders

The Cohutta Chapter of Trout Unlimited has partnered with Jim Lindenmayer, Director of Cherokee County Homeless Vets and the Atlanta Fly Fishing School to provide veterans and first responders fly fishing classes. Classes consist of three day sessions, conducted twice a year, in the Spring and Fall and include indoor classroom activities as well as outdoor casting instruction and practice.  There is an on water fly fishing trip to a beautiful North Georgia trophy trout stream to finalize the class.  The next class is March 12th, 19th, and 26th 2026.

 
I and all the TU volunteers that help with the classes are looking forward to our March 12, 19, and 26 Fly Fishing Classes. These classes are always a fun and rewarding time for us and the students. We have twenty names of eager and excited veterans and first responders. From my conversations with them, this looks to be another awesome class. We have the finest of all the major branches of the armed services represented along with firefighters and police officers. It’s gonna be another great one!
