In Sunriver, Oregon, Josh White and The Hook Fly Shop have launched a transformative initiative called “On The Mend,” dedicated to supporting individuals grappling with mental health challenges through the healing power of fly fishing. This program offers participants a chance to connect with nature, learn new skills, and find solace in the tranquil waters of Central Oregon. Guided by Josh and his team at Cascade Guides & Outfitters, “On The Mend” provides a safe and supportive environment where individuals can experience the therapeutic benefits of fishing, fostering community, resilience, and hope. By blending outdoor adventure with mental health support, this program exemplifies the profound impact of nature-based healing.

As a way to support the On The Mend mission The Hook Fly Shop will be selling “On The Mend” hoodies at the shop, where profits will benefit our cause. Come get a hoody and show your support for those in need. Your contributions allow the Cascade Guides & Outfitters at The Hook to take out veterans, stroke patients, and a variety of other community members we want to support and raise up through the joy of fly fishing.
