They combine beginners fly-fishing instruction with directed “courageous conversations”, Reel Recovery offers a unique experience for men coping with cancer, a time to share their stories; learn new skills, form friendships, and gain renewed hope as they confront the challenges of their recovery. Retreats are conducted over a two-and-a-half day period at a comfortable facility with onsite or nearby fishing access.
