Happy Fall Equinox from the Upper French Broad!
The last few hours of summer on the Upper French Broad have brought some water levels that our watershed has needed. And they seem to be dropping at a steady rate instead of sharp decline. Which means some of this water might stick around a while.
Cooler nights, fuller rivers, and the first hints of color on the ridges. Fall on the river is officially here. Whether fall fishing is on your radar or a guided paddling trip, our team of passionate professional guides are excited to get out on the water with you.

Morning solitude and some fall weather on the horizon! The Perdigon brings in the most PPR this weekend with the Copper John has a solid flex play.
According to @ncwx_authority (which is who we trust the most around here) we have fall weather just a few days away. Be sure to give him a follow for weather trends and predictions!
This Saturday is the @risefishfest and we can’t wait to see you there. Brendon, Carter and Stephanie will be at the Headwaters booth with some exciting fall pieces from Skwala, fly tying and more! Come out Saturday for fishing, food and fun at the @wrongwaycampground

Sips & Seminars: Restoring the Southern Appalachian Spruce 🌲
Join us next Thursday (September 24th), 6-8 PM, at our downtown Brevard location for an evening with our friends at Southern Highlands Reserve. @southern_highlands_reserve
Executive Director Kelly Holdbrooks will give a quick look at how the Reserve is helping restore the spruce ecosystems of our high-elevation forests. She sits on the steering committee for the Southern Appalachian Spruce Restoration Initiative. After her talk, we’ll open it up for Q&A.
Grab a drink over at @brevardbrewingco , meet your neighbors, and learn what it takes to bring these mountain forests back.
