Join us on the banks of the historic French Broad River for the Forks of the River Fly Fishing Festival, a celebration of fishing, fellowship, and the vibrant outdoor culture of Western North Carolina. Hosted at the stunning Deerwoode Reserve in collaboration with Davidson River Outfitters and Headwaters Outfitters, this one-of-a-kind event brings together trusted top fly-fishing brands, local artisans and vendors, focused clinics, and expert-led seminars designed to inspire anglers of every experience level.

Browse gear from industry leaders, learn new skills from seasoned instructors, and connect with the passionate community that makes our mountain rivers so special.

Enjoy performances by Grammy-winning local artist Woody Platt and the Bluegrass Gentleman, along with hometown favorites Pretty Little Goat and Red Clay Revival. Set against the backdrop of Brevard’s rolling hills, the music is every bit as rich as the waters that flow through our valley.

Come spend the day with us at Deerwoode Reserve—cast a line, tap your toes, share stories, eat great food, and soak up the magic of Western NC’s fly-fishing and music heritage. This is a festival you won’t want to miss.
