The 2026 Women’s Retreat is in full swing! Good times, even better company. While fishing is the game, it’s the moments in between that make it. The laughs, the happy tears, releasing all the heaviness of life, and the memories.

“This story of five high school buddies, family and friends camping in Pisgah Forest, in February, under a full moon for fifty years had to be told.” — J. Oscar Butler
And he told it. Pisgah Forest Chronicles gathers fifty years of trails, campsites, and campfires in our backyard forest, plus the friendships that lasted through all of it. Oscar’s writing has appeared in South Carolina Wildlife. Come meet him, hear the stories, and take home a signed copy.
FREE! 6-9pm at Headwaters Outfitters Downtown – 67 East Main Street Brevard NC
Braces and Bass and of course @campcarolina pit vipers.

More fall arrivals!
Thomas and Thomas Zones restocked and now available at both retail locations and online:
9’ 4wt Zone
Great for fishing some of our smaller rivers, and can handle some larger trout but also has enough give for delicate presentation.
9’ 5wt Zone
The “Do it All” rod. Can throw dries easily and also larger nymph rigs.
9’ 6wt Zone
The go-to weight and rod for WNC warm water fish. Fantastic rod for getting into small mouth bass!
Swing by our main shop in Rosman, or our downtown location in Brevard! Online at shopheadwatersoutdoors.com

The North Fork is running, which means our main river trips are on hold until the river drops back down. But with this rain, the river got a much needed charge and the suns coming out tomorrow, it’s looking like this is going to be a great week for paddling!
Our hiking trips are also a great option! Only one more spot left for our guided llama hike tomorrow. Interested in a guided hike for you or your group? Email Lydia at [email protected] for details!
