Things You’ll Learn by Listening:

Our thoughts are all on all the communities affected by Helene.  The ones “on the hills & in the hollers” that were swept away & those left without power, roads, & homes. The question of “who is my neighbor?” is being answered with the resilience of community support throughout.

Fly Fishing Guiding, Instruction, & Outfitting trips in western North Carolina is a large part of Jesse Brown’s business.  Teaching people to fly fish the beautiful waters in this part of the world is special to us. In order to support our local guides & relief efforts in these hardest hit places, we plan on donating 5% of the Fly Fishing Trips Purchased Now through the rest of the 2024 year to Mountain True

This will enable us to continue planning for fly fishing in the future while helping with the impacted areas & people now.
