The 10th Annual Three River Fly Fishing Festival, set for September 23-25, offers plenty of challenges for both veteran anglers and clever novices of all ages. For more information or to register, email [email protected] or call (828) 526-0441.
The Three River Fly Fishing Festival returns on September 23-25, offering anglers from near and far an opportunity to enjoy a weekend of fly fishing fun and camaraderie. This fundraiser for the Town of Highlands Scholarship Fund – now in its 10th year – offers men and women of all ages the chance to fish our miles of beautiful streams and rivers, while raising money for a worthwhile cause. To date, the festival has raised over $75,000 for the youth in Highlands.
Teams of two will fish on local waters totaling 2,200 miles. Each team must catch fish from the three types of rivers in our area: delayed harvest, hatchery supported and native. Teams can be guided or self-guided.
Lunch will be provided for both days of fishing and there’ll be an opening night reception, and a closing night banquet that’ll feature prizes (including weekend getaways, golf outings, dinners, fly rods and reels, and fly fishing gear), food, and a filled-to-bursting goody bag.
In addition to team fishing, this year’s festival itinerary includes a special comedy performance at the Highlands PAC, Trout Fishing in America.
Entry fees are $500 per two-person team. Sign-up by August 10, and the cost is only $450. To register or for more information, email [email protected] or call (828) 526-0441.
