The “DMVA – VA Hospital Trout Derby” is a special day of fishing, camaraderie, and appreciation dedicated to honoring our veterans. Hosted in partnership with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, this event brings together veterans, volunteers, and the local community for a relaxing and rewarding trout fishing experience.
Participants will enjoy a fully stocked fishing area, with opportunities for anglers of all skill levels to cast a line and reel in trout. Equipment and assistance will be available for those who need it, ensuring everyone can take part regardless of experience. Volunteers and staff will be on hand to provide support, guidance, and encouragement throughout the day.
Beyond fishing, the derby is about connection, offering veterans a chance to spend time outdoors, share stories, and build lasting memories in a welcoming environment. Light refreshments, prizes, and recognition for catches will add to the fun and celebration.
Whether you’re fishing, volunteering, or simply coming out to support, the DMVA Hospital is a meaningful way to give back to those who have served while enjoying the outdoors together.
