FREE FLY FISHING RETREATS FOR MEN WITH CANCER
“Thank you so much for this life changing experience; I am a better man for it.”
Idaho2Fly provides an opportunity for men with cancer to get away from all the day-to-day worries and challenges of a cancer diagnosis by offering retreats in beautiful settings where they can experience the thrill of fly fishing in Idaho’s most iconic waters. But our retreats aren’t just about catching fish, they’re about finding hope, healing, camaraderie, brotherhood and finding joy in the rhythm of the river. Men fighting cancer need more than treatment, they need connection, community and a chance to feel whole again.
Idaho2Fly’s unique approach, fly fishing retreats and year-round programs create a powerful platform for men to navigate cancer with resilience and community.
WHO MAY APPLY
Men who reside in Idaho with any type of cancer in any stage of treatment or recovery are welcome to apply.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Thanks to the support of generous donors and our community partners, our fly fishing retreats are free, except for the cost of travel to and from retreat locations. We can help coordinate car pooling for those those who need travel assistance.
All meals and lodging are provided.
No fishing experience is needed. We also provide everything you will need for fly fishing — boots, waders, rod and reel. Many men who attend Idaho2Fly retreats have never touched a fly rod. Our trained Fishing Friends will teach you everything you need to know and guide you every step of the way.
IMPORTANT
You will also need to have your treating physician complete the Activity Release Form, to document that you are physically able to participate in retreat activities.
