Besides the Panthers game, it was an epic weekend in WNC! One of the most colorful falls we’ve had in a while, midday air temps pushing 70, and active fish all around. 🍂🎣
The BH Cooper Bob Softy is still a hot fly, but the CDC Thrasher is right on its tail. Looks like a beautiful week ahead for fishing and paddling!

“As I look back through the years
I’ve seen my share of good and bad times
I’ve traveled around to many a town
I can say I’ve had a great life
It’s not a guess, I know I’ve been blessed
To be where I’m standing now through
All of the bad, the saddest of sad
The good Lord always pulled me through
Somehow, I pray
He gives me one more day and
Somehow, some way
I stop to celebrate”
~ John Anderson

Thank you @johnanderson
John played at what is now @slopeside_tavern back in the late 90s/early 2000’s we can’t remember the exact year. But it was an incredible show. Anyone else there?

There are still days left to paddle the Upper French Broad, and it’s showing off out there right now! 🍂
Warm, sunny days and fall colors make for three hours you don’t want to miss!
Our self-guided paddles go out 7 days a week, at least through October.
🍁 Our Guided Colors of the Fall trip is a great Saturday morning activity!
Book both here: https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/headwatersoutfitters/?full-items=yes&flow=262974
Please note: because of blockages on the lower section, our fall brewery paddles are done for the season. Thanks for understanding, and we’ll see you on the upper river!
