Project Healing Waters founder and president, Navy Capt. Ed Nicholson (far right), and several fly fishing guides and veterans, stand by the banks of the Thornton River, where they spent a Friday last month fishing for rainbow trout and smallmouth bass on Cliff Miller’s Mount Vernon Farm in Sperryville. Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Inc. is a national organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of disabled veterans and active military personnel through fly-fishing and fly-tying education and outings. The boys were gearing up for their sixth annual Two-Fly Fishing tournament at Rose River Farm in Syria the following Sunday.
