A program to provide fishing- based therapy for disabled veterans and their families will launch Friday on the Green River below Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
Called “Rivers of Recovery,” the program was initiated by Salida resident Dan Cook, who personally will fund an activity that will continue over the next three weekends in June. Cook said his endeavor is open to veterans with every type of disability from all military eras. It features three nights on the river around two days of fishing.
Veteran Green River guide Terry Collier, who operates Old Moe Guide Service in Dutch John, Utah, will direct the river activities.
Cook has established a website — — to help solicit funding for a program he hopes to expand dramatically in 2009. He may be contacted at 303-801-8022.
