Event starts at 10am until Noon. The Fly Fishing For Women's Day event starts at 1pm and lasts until 3pm. Women should come early and enjoy lunch.
The pond will have a lot of trout left over from this years Kids Fishing Day and still a few very large fish that have survived from the previous years' KFD. More trout may be stocked prior to this event.
Vets and Women WILL NOT BE REQUIRED to have a license to fish in the POND, but will need a license and a trout stamp to fish in the creek.
FLY FISHING FOR VETS is a program that was conceived to help our wounded warriors have an opportunity to take their minds off the war by getting on the water and trying to catch a fish. Fly fishing was chosen because it takes little effort and is an easy skill to enjoy.
The northwest area of Georgia is the base for the Coosa Valley Chapter of TU and we do not have a lot of wounded veterans returning to our area and because of that we are inviting any and all veterans to come to the park to enjoy some hotdogs and soft drinks and take a little time out to catch a trout.
Door prizes of fishing gear will be given away during the day. WE WILL HAVE SOFT DRINKS, CHIPS, AND HOT DOGS AS WELL. There will be skilled fly casters there to help anyone that wants to try fly fishing. To all veterans, Come on down to Cave Spring on Saturday morning, July 18, 2020 and catch a trout.
IF YOU KNOW OF ANY VETERAN FROM ANY WAR WE WANT THEM AT CAVE SPRING REGARDLESS OF AGE OR PHYSICAL CONDITION.
THE EVENT IS FREE OF ANY CHARGE FOR VETERANS and WOMEN.
REGISTERED VETERANS AND WOMEN ARE INVITED TO HAVE A HOTDOG LUNCH WITH US AT NO CHARGE
