Novig? Never heard of it….we are to busy gearing up for fall fishing season. #ɪʏᴋʏᴋ
But this might be a fitting time to give some love to the incredible women guiding rivers right here in WNC and beyond. 🎣
Our own female team at Headwaters include Hannah Overgaard, Lydia Dann, Stephanie Adams and Jessica Whitmire. They bring years of experience, comedy, and passion to every guide trip.
But they aren’t alone! WNC is home to an incredible crew of women on the water, including Starr Nolan, Taylor Farfour, Debbie Gillespie, Cassie Spurling, Alyssa Adock, and Sydney Luiz, just to name a few. Please tag yourself or tag a female guide you know in the Southeast. Let’s shine a spotlight on these female athletes! Book a trip with them this fall/winter
Here’s to the women out here putting in the work, sharing their knowledge, and making this sport better for it 🎣
