Divas on The Fly

Divas on the Fly is a pilot fly fishing project for Vancouver Island women who have been diagnosed and are recovering from breast cancer.

Why Fly Fishing and Breast Cancer?

The program provides an avenue for social support and group interactions, reducing the feeling of isolation many survivors might have.

The dynamics of fly fishing provide a healing connection to the natural world, relieving everyday stressors and promoting a sense of calm.

Fly fishing techniques provide a gentle exercise for joint and soft tissue mobility.

The program offers a forum for women with similar experiences to meet, learn a new skill and gain a respite from their everyday concerns.
