Step into a stream and discover a whole new world of wisdom. Fly-fishing teaches patience, faith and humility. Newcomers and experienced casters get expert instruction at Kanuga before trout fishing on the nearby Davidson River, one of Trout Unlimited magazine’s Top 100 rivers in the nation.

Within 30 minutes’ drive are many other prime trout waters. As rewarding as the fishing is getting to know other people who appreciate this quiet encounter with the outdoors, where anything caught is released.

A North Carolina fishing license is required and can be purchased online at www.ncwildlife.org or during the retreat at Davidson River Outfitters.
