Reeling Veterans

Reeling Veterans

Reeling Veterans offers fishing trips, social activities and wellbeing programs for veterans and their families. The organisation was created around a simple idea: spending time fishing can help people connect, share experiences and enjoy time outdoors. Activities range from day trips to extended fishing adventures, giving participants opportunities to build friendships, learn new skills and be part of a supportive community.

Taking part in fishing can support healthy ageing in many ways. Being outdoors encourages gentle physical activity, fresh air and time in nature, which can help reduce stress and improve mood. Group activities create opportunities to meet new people, strengthen social connections and reduce feelings of isolation. Learning fishing techniques and planning trips can also keep the mind active and build confidence. Reeling Veterans places a strong focus on mateship, resilience and wellbeing, helping participants feel supported while enjoying meaningful and enjoyable experiences. Whether you are an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, this welcoming community offers a chance to stay active, connected and engaged.
