Hooked on Healing

About Us

Founded in 2024, Hooked on Healing operates under the umbrella of the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers, a 501(c)(3) organization.  We were established to address a growing need of veterans in Northern California, many of whom carry both physical and emotional scars from their time of military service.  Hooked on Healing's mission is to support the physical and emotional well-being of service connected disabled veterans through the fly fishing experience.

We believe in the healing power of nature and the valuable bonds formed on the water with others who share similar histories. Our program offers veterans more than just new skills and hobbies; they provide a renewed sense of purpose and connection, both with themselves and through ongoing community engagement opportunities.  Through personalized fly fishing instruction, guided trips, weekend outings and supportive community involvement, we aim to address the invisible wounds of service and foster a lifelong journey of resilience, recovery and giving back.  

Our Mission Statement  

To enhance the physical and emotional well being of service connected disabled veterans by ensuring a supportive and understanding community through the art of fly fishing in Northern California.

Our Commitment to Transparency

Every dollar donated goes directly to our mission. We do not pay administrative staff, ensuring that all contributions directly support the veterans we serve.
