REEL RECOVERY PARTNERS WITH TEMPLE FORK OUTFITTERS
Needham, MA — February 23, 2009 — Reel Recovery, a national non-profit
organization that provides free fly-fishing Retreats to men battling cancer, is
proud to announce a new partnership with Dallas-based Temple Fork Outfitters, a
leading manufacturer of premium fly-fishing equipment.
Stan Golub, Executive Director of Reel Recovery and Rick Pope, President of
TFO, announced today that the new Temple Fork Outfitters-Reel Recovery fly rods
are in production and will be released to fly fishing tackle dealers nationwide
in April.
“We believe that fly fishing generally makes us better people, increasing our
awareness of our environment, helping us understand more about nature, about
our friends and most importantly, about ourselves. This deepest of fundamental
needs is where we first crossed paths with the Reel Recovery Retreat concept.”
Rick Pope, President of TFO, said.
Reel Recovery Retreats provide support and education to men of all ages, in all
stages of any form of cancer. Since its founding in 2003, the organization has
conducted 59 Retreats in 12 states, serving over 700 men battling the disease.
Retreats are completely free to the participants, with all meals, lodging, fly
fishing equipment and expert instruction provided by Reel Recovery. The
Retreats provide a unique opportunity for men with cancer to get a respite from
their battle and a gain a fresh perspective; to learn a new skill and form a
healing connection with nature; and to build a network of friends that will
provide support and hope for the future.
“Everyone at TFO is honored to be able to participate in such a worthy effort
by our friends at Reel Recovery. It is humbling to be with such a courageous
group and in our small way, to help these men with their battle. We are
producing a special rod that recognizes Reel Recovery's good work. For each
Reel Recovery/TFO 9 foot 4 piece 5 weight rod sold through an authorized TFO
dealer, we will contribute $25 to the cause.” Pope announced.
Stan Golub, Executive Director of Reel Recovery said: “We are thrilled that TFO
will be supporting Reel Recovery in this very meaningful way. We share with TFO
a common understanding about the healing power of fly-fishing, and this
partnership will help us offer that experience to more men with cancer all
across the country. Reel Recovery is wholly donor supported, so this
partnership is very important to our continued success and growth.”

About Reel Recovery
Reel Recovery is a national non-profit organization that conducts fly-fishing
retreats for men recovering from life-threatening cancer. Our mission is to
help men in the cancer recovery process by introducing them to the healing
powers of the sport of fly-fishing, while providing a safe, supportive
environment to explore their personal experiences with cancer, with others who
share their stories. Though only a few days in duration, a Reel Recovery
retreat can be a life-changing event for men battling cancer. The program
blends outdoor activity with directed conversations to create a unique
environment conducive to relaxed, open interactions. Retreats are offered at no
cost to the participants and are led by professional psychosocial facilitators
and expert fly-fishing instructors. A maximum of 12-14 men are invited to
participate, to ensure the quality of the instruction and to create a powerful
small-group dynamic. For more information, visit www.reelrecovery.org or call

May your GOD be your fishing partner.
