Fly Fishing Helps Child Abuse Victims Cope - Idaho

"Being a victim of child abuse is often a long road to recovery. Steve Davis, familiar with this process, is the founder of On River Time, a charity that lets the role of fly fishing help victims of abuse to heal, at the Lodge at Palisades. After longtime manager Stan Klassen passed away in 2011, Davis decided to help children who have been abused or neglected on their journey through the healing process by enjoying some of Idaho's greatest treasures....

"I mean it's just beyond words, we just keep saying we can't find the words or how to express how thankful we are and how amazing this is," said Reagan Phillips, the Child Care Team Director with Big Oak Ranch....

"I'm just amazed we got to come out here. Being out here is really miraculous, I love the sight seeing and especially the wall fishing," said Karen, one of the participants....

"Davis's goal is to not only show off Idaho's beauty, but show these kids the peace it can bring and also to remind them that they are not alone in this journey...."
