Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery’s Wounded Warrior Fishing Event began in 2011.​ This event welcomes veterans that have been wounded during combat.

​

Each year, near the anniversary of September 11th, approximately 30 veterans participate in this event. The day begins with a guided striped bass fishing trip on Lake Cumberland. Following a complimentary lunch and honorary salute, participants end the day with trout fishing at Hatchery Creek or along the Cumberland River.
