Casting For Recovery

Casting For Recovery provides fly-fishing retreats specifically tailored for women who have or have had breast cancer. The Shasta Mayflies support this program through contributions of both time and money. Shasta Mayflies are encouraged to volunteer at annual on-stream retreats held in northern California.

In 2012, these retreats are scheduled for August 10-12 at the Mount Shasta Resort in Mt Shasta, and September 21-23 at the Indian Creek Lodge in Douglas City. Volunteers are typically needed on the last day of the retreats.

For volunteer information, please contact Casting For Recovery at www.castingforrecovery.org.
