questions the Warriors may have about PHW.
The WTU has 60 plus members . The Warriors stay in the unit from 3 to 6
months.
This will allow us to really work with Warriors who want to develop their
skills in this sport .
The regular sessions will start in August the second and fourth Tuesdays of
each . All session will be held in building 11103 on A Avenue. This is the
Hdq of the WTU at Ft Lee. The session will be held during the weekday hours
( 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM )
We have all the fly tying tool and material as well as the rods and reel
that will be needed to run the training
As the Warriors become skilled in casting we are planning on offering one
day fly fishing trips on local warm water and trout water.
