Reel Recovery was founded in 2003 by a group of avid fly-fishers, inspired by their fishing buddy’s ongoing battle with brain cancer. Witnessing first-hand the beneficial impact fly-fishing provided their friend, they created Reel Recovery to give the same opportunity for other men battling the disease. Combining expert fly-fishing instruction with directed “courageous conversations”, the organization offers men with all forms of cancer a unique opportunity to share their stories, learn a new skill, form lasting friendships and gain renewed hope as they confront the challenges of cancer.

Reel Recovery - Men's Fly-Fishing Cancer Retreat and Support Group

“I’m so thankful to have been given the opportunity to share my passion of fly-fishing with these men. I’m equally thankful for the things that I learn from them while out on the water. They’ve taught me to live in the moment, spread love, be kind, and how to find good in the darkest of moments. I couldn’t ask for a better way to give back to the sport I love so much.”
-Ricky, Volunteer
