Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, made landfall on Thursday, September 26th, in Northwestern Florida before moving through Georgia, Western North Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee. The ensuing winds and heavy rains caused unimaginable flooding and damage to small towns in the storm’s path.
Western North Carolina and parts of Tennessee were hit particularly hard. The mountainous terrain caused severe flooding and landslides as runoff quickly filled the rivers and reservoirs. As the people of the affected communities look to rebuild, we’re joining as a collective to help the community of guides get back on their feet.
Partnering with the Guide Relief Program and the Blue Ridge Guide Association, we have organized a package valued at over $34,000 for someone to win. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to benefit both the guides and fisheries in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every single penny from this giveaway will be directed to the region, whether to give the guides financial support or support stream restoration efforts.
This giveaway would not be possible without the support of the Fly Fishing industry: Adipose, Costa, Flylords, Simms, YETI, Riversmith, Trxstle, Marsh Wear, Grundens, Orvis, Sawyer Paddles and Oars, Tornado Anchors, Umpqua, Fishpond, Ross Reels, Airflo Lines, Scientific Anglers, Turtlebox, On Water Fish, Frigate Reserve Rum, St. Croix, Winston, and Redington.
