Retired Army staff sergeant Donald Stewart, 54, who was injured in a serious traffic accident. In September 2007, while at the Richmond, VA, he heard about Project Healing Waters, and signed up immediately for the fly-tying classes suggested by the occupational therapists. "The first trout I ever caught? That was at the 2-Fly on the Rose River," he says. "I was in my manual wheelchair. It took four guys to carry me over those rocks and find a place beside the stream there. But when I did, wow! My first cast -- wham! -- he hit it. My first cast was my first trout. It was an unbelievable feeling."
Here he fishes with help of guides Phil Johnson and Gary Burwell.
