September / October Fixed Line & Tenkara Newsletter: Fall Fishing, Campouts & Cleanups 🍂

Hey friends,

I hope you’ve all been enjoying the cooler weather — fall is here, and with it comes some of the best fishing of the year. October is a great time to be on the water, especially with NC Wildlife starting their stocking program. The bite is turning on, and I’d love to get you out for a trip soon!

For those new to it, Tenkara is:

• A simple and effective Japanese style of fly fishing (just a rod, line, and fly — no reel).

• Minimal gear, perfect for small streams and mountain waters.

• Easy for beginners to pick up, but still packed with nuance for more experienced anglers.

  

We’ve got some fun things coming up:

• 🎣 Western Carolina Tenkara Campout — October 3–5 at Davidson River Campground in Brevard, NC. We’ll have a free gear exchange, and Robert Worthing and I will each be giving short presentations.

  

• 🌊 Haywood Waterways “Big Sweep” River Cleanup — September 13 at four different local locations. Check out their Instagram @haywoodwaterways for details and ways to help.

And of course, I’m still running private water trips for those who want to escape the crowds and chase some trophy trout. Half-day and full-day options are available — you can reach me by phone, email, or just book directly on my site: www.fixedlineappalachia.com.

Tight lines,

Ben Colonnese
