Casting for Recovery

05/28/2026

May is Oncology Nursing Month — and there’s a different kind of nursing moment worth celebrating.

Ask Colleen, Pam, Amy, Michelle, and Whitney — five oncology nurses from five different states who volunteer at Casting for Recovery retreats — what it’s like on the other side of the river.

They’ll tell you about women finally letting go of stress, finding peace, and rediscovering strength they didn’t know they still had. And they’ll tell you something unexpected: the experience changed them, too.

If you’re an oncology nurse or breast health nurse navigator, this is your invitation to volunteer with Casting for Recovery—and be part of what comes next for women with breast cancer.

A huge thank you to the incredible tiers behind Tie-a-Thon for the thousands of flies donated to Casting for Recovery this year. Truly too many to count!!

Throughout the winter, fly tiers from across the country dedicate their time, talent, and heart to tying flies that are then distributed to nonprofits each spring. This year, many of our Casting for Recovery programs requested flies, helping equip women across the country as they experience healing, connection, and joy on the water.

Every fly carries a story, a generous spirit, and a reminder that this community shows up in the most meaningful ways.

Thank you for supporting our participants and programs nationwide. We are beyond grateful!

The fishing world lost a legend with the passing of F***y Kreiger.

F***y was a true trailblazer in fly fishing, known not only for her skill on the water but for breaking barriers and opening doors for women in the sport. Her grace, knowledge, and passion helped shape fly fishing into a more inclusive and welcoming community.
