Physicians and breast center personnel recommend Casting for Recovery because they know that it helps provide tools needed for a healthier life.

A Casting for Recovery weekend is about empowerment

Knowing little about fly fishing, women learn the basics while experiencing a spirit of trust and sharing that cannot be put into words.

See a sample Retreat ScheduleParticipating at your own comfort level, you will find new strength, joy, and confidence, leaving the retreat with a belief in your ability to master the challenges ahead.

The Casting for Recovery program has generated a wide circle of survivors whose new-found understanding and enthusiasm creates ripples outward in their communities, among their friends, families, and colleagues, helping improve the quality of their lives.
