October Trout Fishing

Trip is Full

The plans for this fall’s spousal fishing trip have been arranged. It has the potential to be one of our best trips, with great accommodations, walking distance to town, and a freshly stocked river.

Dennis is managing the trip. Please email Dennis523@me.com if you are interested no later than June 8 so he can obtain the best hotel discounts based on headcount. You are welcome to join in later but may not be able to book the group hotel or reserve a guide from Hookers. Guides are not required – you are welcome to fish on your own in the many trout streams near Dillsboro.

The following is a synopsis of the event:

• Arrive Monday, October 14, and depart as late as Friday, October 18
• The group will stay at the Best Western in Dillsboro, NC
  • Other accommodations are nearby include VRBO/AirBnB or camping
