Headwaters Outfitters - Rosman, North Carolina

I requested to do an adventurous trip, off the beaten path and Headwaters made it happen. Chris took me into the backcountry of pisgah forest, sliding down banks, crawling over and under logs and rhododendron. It was exactly what I was looking for, wild trout, great scenery and not a sole in sight all day! Will book again

Would highly recommend Headwaters Outfitters for a guided fly fishing trip on the East Fork of the French Broad. Bradley Poag did an excellent job going over techniques preferred flies and where trout would be holding.

We tubed down the French broad on July 4th. We took the earliest slot and had the river almost to ourselves for most of our float. The staff at Headwaters was kind and helpful. We put in at the store and then they picked us up and promptly returned us to the starting point as promised :). It was an easy and relaxing float. Headwaters has bathrooms, changing rooms, a well stocked store and food trucks for if you’re hungry upon your return. Would highly recommend for an easy and fun river float!

What an amazing experience! Headwaters Outfitters did a great job setting our group up for fly fishing and guiding our day. They have everything you need for fly fishing! The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly.

Very friendly staff, we did the 3 hour kayaking from 10am-1pm ($45 each person). We came from Chicago, staying in Balsam Grove and decided to kayak here . There are single or tandem kayaks if you have children. There are some logs/boulders on the river but an easy ride. Make sure to wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a ziplock bag for your phone, if not leave it in your car. We did not experience any issues. Great prices for kayaking, would definitely do it again and bring more friends. Thank you to the staff at Headwaters Outfitters!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We booked a 1/2 day guided fly fishing trip on private waters. I had never fly fished before but my husband loves it. The day before we got a text from Ty, our fantastic guide, touching base about the next day. The morning of turned out to be 30 degrees but off we went and what a morning! We had so much fun and Ty had the patience of 10 saints. We caught more than 17 trout (we lost count) in the 4 hours. We couldn't feel our fingers and we couldn't care less. Make the trip!!!!

Our family had a great time doing a half-day trout fishing with Brett and Hannah. We had a couple in our group who had fly-fished before, and a couple who were first-timers--fun was had by all! Brett and Hannah were experienced and knowledgeable guides who took care of all the details and taught us just enough to be dangerous.

The Headwaters Outfitters location is well-stocked for adventures, with a curated outdoors shop, food trucks and a taproom for pre- and post-trip needs. We'll definitely be back!
