There's an organization in Arizona called, "Casting for Recovery" which is devoted to helping women with Breast Cancer enhance their lives through support and educational programs while fly fishing.

Casting for Recovery offers free fly fishing retreats for women of all ages diagnosed with Breast Cancer. The next retreat will be held May 15-17 at Greer Lodge in Greer. This retreat is open at no cost to Arizona women of all ages and in all stages of breast cancer treatment and recovery.

Fishing Changes on Navajo Reservation

The Navajo Reservation Fish and Wildlife Department have recently changed fishing permit fees for both tribal and non-tribal members. If you're planning to fish on the Navajo Reservation this year, you'll want to be sure to check out the latest changes.

Fishing at Dead Horse Ranch

Yesterday I had the opportunity to fish at Dead Horse Ranch with Prescott's Fly Caster's Club. It was a beautiful day not to mention plenty of fishing action.

The Arizona Department Game and Fish have been stocking the lagoons every couple of weeks so there was plenty of trout in the lakes. Spin fishers had great success catching trout using worms and powerbait.

Fly fishers also had a lot of success catching trout using green woolly buggers and nymphs. One angler had huge success fishing a Copper John.

Dead Horse Ranch is a great place to take the whole family and the fishing ain't bad either.
