The second annual Fly Fishing with Amy

FLY FISHING WITH AMY…. The second annual Fly Fishing with Amy will take place this year on October 1st and 15th and will be held on the grounds of Measured Progress as participants from the Seacoast Cancer Center venture into the Cocheco River to learn the art of fly-fishing. Last year’s outing was held in conjunction with volunteers from Great Bay Trout Unlimited and their national organization Trout Unlimited which supplied waders, rods and the expertise of River Guides. Each cancer patient was coupled with a seasoned fly fishing pro that stood alongside their student offering tips on casting and catching trout and all did! Participants were treated to a cookout and the fun had by all prompted adding another date to this year’s calendar.

Respites with Rina, the component of Amy’s Treat which organizes and funds patient outings, is looking for sponsors for this year’s events. Please contact Amy’s Treat at amystreat@aol.com or by call 978-265-7126 to offer support.
