I have been invited to participate in a men’s cancer retreat this coming Sunday thru Tuesday at a ranch near Boerne in the Texas Hill Country, fronting on the Guadalupe River. It is a resort ranch with wild game, upland bird shooting and private access trophy trout waters.
The primary purpose of this retreat is a respite from day-to-day concerns of patients to gain a fresh outlook on their fight with cancer.
Private discussions are provided for encouragement and a new network
of friends and support. Cancer information and resources are provided to better manage their disease, and a renewed hope as they confront the challenges of cancer.
I have previously declined invitations to attend but now that I am a double dipper and can assist in fly casting and fly tyin’ instruction, I don’t have an excuse.
Trout are not my favored species even tho I have had exceptional opportunities, I have NEVER caught a Guadalupe Bass.
It will be my primary target.
I am somewhat apprehensive about the cancer sessions but looking forward to the fishing - and perhaps help some of the cancer patients by sharing my experience.
