Western North Carolina offers over 400 miles of public Fly Fishing Water. Enjoy chasing species of trout, bass, and musky with the professional and knowledgeable guides at Headwaters Outfitters. Whether you are new to Fly Fishing or a veteran, Headwaters can design the perfect outing for you and/or your group.Suited for: Beginner, Intermediate and Expert Fly Fishers
Possible destinations: the Davidson River; the East, North or West Forks of the French Broad; Courthouse Creek; Looking Glass Creek; the North or South Mills Rivers; the West Fork of the Pigeon River; or our north fork Private Waters, which offer exclusive access to over a mile of the North Fork of the French Broad.
Description: If you want to immerse yourselves in the wild domain of Appalachian trout, this is the trip for you. Although some of our trips are done on roadside rivers, most wade trips involve some walking (typically less than a mile, unless you ask your guide for a back country adventure.)
Once on the water, we’ll don waders and boots and work our way slowly upstream as we try to spot trout before they see us. Using short, accurate casts (usually 30 feet, max), we’ll present our flies to visibly feeding trout, or to areas proven to be productive holding spots. Around noon, we’ll munch on sandwiches and enjoy he beauty of the Appalachian forest, the soothing sound of water purling over rock. All of this makes for a relaxing outing in the company of our veteran guides, who will go the extra mile to put you on fish. If solitude and bigger trout are on your wish list, check out our north fork Private Waters.
