Sean is very active with fly tying and rod building with Project Healing Waters for the past three years. Currently, in addition to being a participant he is assisted with other vets guiding them through the rod building process.

Project Healing Waters has provided a calming influence in my dealing with day to day PTSD. The group experiences have provided an opportunity for me to develop a skill that I have been able to share with other veterans and fishermen through the fly tying and rod building classes as a participant. The contacts I have made through the organization developed a deeper understanding of the peace that comes from fly fishing and working with others.

The Hammonasset Chapter meets each month from September through May at the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association building at 540 Oregon Road in Meriden . Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month. The doors open at 6:15pm. The monthly programs start at 7pm. Each meeting features special programming related to fly fishing in and around Connecticut. Sometimes guides share knowledge of local rivers and at other times state officials will come speak about hatchery, conservation or other water & fly fishing related themes. In addition we talk about current fishing conditions, hold a raffle and of course socialize. Directions to the QRWA Headquarters
