Welcome to Fishing Vets of Spartanburg County, SC

Fishing Vets of Spartanburg County is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Veterans group that provides fishing trips for Veterans and First Responders to provide the relief they need to handle stress and life issues.

FVoSC is here to help US Military Veterans and First Responders by providing them with a relaxing fishing outing on beautiful Lake Blalock in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. We are not a religious organization or a licensed counselor, but we firmly believe in the buddy system that has been so prevalent in the military ranks throughout history. Sometimes a veteran needs a brother or sister to lend an ear in a neutral and safe environment.
