The brown trout rises just out of casting range, taunting you from beneath the overhanging rhododendron. You need local intel, and fast. Welcome to Brookings Anglers, where Western North Carolina’s fly fishing secrets are revealed daily. With strategic outposts in both Cashiers and Highlands, Brookings has positioned itself at the epicenter of some of the Southeast’s most coveted trout waters.
You made it to the river—cool mountain water, mayflies in the air—and then realized your fly box is back in Charlotte. Luckily, Headwaters Outfitters has your back. Family-owned since 1992 and located between Brevard and the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, it’s more than just a fly shop—it’s a trusted home base for mountain fishing and paddling adventures. Whether you need a few flies, last-minute gear, or tips on where the fish are biting, their experienced team is ready to help.
You’ve just captured the perfect sunset over Lake Glenville, but your phone photos don’t do justice to this magical place. That’s when you discover The Cashiers Store, where “All things Cashiers” means finding that perfect piece to commemorate your mountain escape.
The rain starts just as you reach mile three of the Appalachian Trail, and your cotton t-shirt is already soaked through. This is exactly why seasoned hikers make Highland Hiker their first stop before any mountain adventure. For over 43 years, this outdoor sanctuary has been the difference between a miserable hike and an epic one.
Joanna and Brent Eason’s appreciation for Amish craftsmanship and simple elegance has given the Plateau Allure Home & Gifts, 91 US 64 in Cashiers. For information, you can call (828) 743-2600, but you owe yourself a careful browse.
