Disabled Fishing Opportunities
As I've developed this website, different opportunities for special disabled activities have come to my attention. Because of this, I am creating this page to help spread the word. Feel free to check out the fishing prospects listed below and let me know what you think of them. Also, let me know of any similar programs that you would like to see listed here.
Let's Go Fishing
LGF is committed to its mission of providing free fishing and boating excursions for individuals aged 55 and greater. They have also served and intend to continue to serve anyone that has a physical challenge that prevents them from getting out on the water, regardless of their age.
As we grow older, participating in fishing and boating activities may often become difficult. Health and physical limitations, financial constraints, and access are some of the most common reasons that older adults are no longer able to enjoy fishing and boating activities.
LGF is a network of members, volunteers and chapters with a passion for the outdoors and who come together as one team, to serve seniors and advance the mission of LGF. Our unique program serves to improve the quality of life for seniors and build stronger communities. With chapters located throughout Minnesota LGF is able to reach thousands of individuals each year.
Reel Recovery
Reel Recovery was founded in 2003 by a group of avid fly-fishers,
inspired by their fishing buddy's ongoing battle with brain cancer. Witnessing
first-hand the beneficial impact fly-fishing provided their friend, they created
Reel Recovery to provide the same opportunity for other men battling the disease.
Combining expert fly-fishing instruction with directed courageous conversations,
the organization provides men with all forms of cancer a unique opportunity
to share their stories, learn a new skill, form lasting friendships and gain
renewed hope as they confront the challenges of cancer.
