Platte Rivers Veterans Fly Fishing

Today Platte Rivers Veterans Fly Fishing honors some of our women veterans at Crystal Lakes. These ladies had the run of the place with some great volunteers who were their guides. As you can see by the pictures a great time was had by all. Thank you to all who were involved in today’s event.

With the start of fall the trees are changing, the air is cooler and crisp, the water cools off from the summer heat, and the browns are spawning. What a great time of year to be a veteran fly fisherman or fisherwoman. We are just a few days away from honoring our women veterans at a day of fishing at Crystal Lakes. Can’t wait to see those smiles and fish caught

Platte Rivers Veterans Fly Fishing is happy to have many Air Force veterans as a component to the organization. From the beginning missions involving the skies across many theaters of operations to current operations and the future of the Air Force we wish the Air Force happy birthday.

Today, as our nation marks the 25th anniversary of September 11th, all of us at Platte Rivers Veterans Fly Fishing (PRVFF) pause to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the enduring resilience of the American spirit. We honor the brave first responders who ran toward danger and the generations of service members who stepped up to defend our freedom in the years that followed.
For our community of veterans, military personnel, and supporters, this milestone carries profound weight. It reminds us exactly why we gather together- To provide rest, recreation, and rehabilitation for active duty, veterans, disabled veterans, and retired military personnel through fly fishing related activities.
From our very beginning, the words “The Water Holds No Scars” have defined our mission to those we serve. These words represent the physical and mental healing, societal integration, and family reunification that are attainable through the sport of fly fishing. On difficult days of remembrance like today, we find strength in this mission and in the quiet, healing power of the river.
Milestones like this also give us an opportunity to reflect on our own history of honoring this day. Head to the link below (or our bio link) to see how our community marked a previous major milestone and dedicated our premier event to remembrance:

May we never forget the lessons of unity, sacrifice, and resilience. To all our veterans, active-duty personnel, first responders, and their families: we thank you, we support you, and we invite you to find peace out on the water.

There is something awesome about hitting the Colorado Fly Fishing Guides shop with 12 veterans and 6 guides eager to get on the water. Everyone had a great day fishing. Then a great steak meal to top it off.

What a great start to Soldiers Day 2026! Stay tuned for more updates.

These great veterans had a great time on the Walden/Lake John trip. Looks like it was a great time out there on the water. It’s always a great honor to display the missing man table on these trips. Can’t wait to hear all the fishing stories.

Put away the fly rod for a day and break out the golf clubs to support veterans and their families at the Swing 4Vets Charity Golf Tournament on September 14 at Pelican Lakes Golf Course.
