Fishing,hunting and hiking outfitters-brookingsonline.com Home Page

Brookings is located in the quaint mountain village of Cashiers, NC. We offer a full line of men's and women's gear for the outdoor sportsman or sportswoman - clothing, boots and shoes, fishing rods, reels and accessories, hunting and shooting supplies, plus all the supplies you need for your "best friend" - your dog. Brookings is owned and staffed by experienced fly fishermen, hunters, outfitters and guides.

We offer fly fishing schools and lessons, as well as guided day trips. Custom trips for the experienced fly fisher are available upon request. Our fishing trips take place primarily on the Davidson and Tuckasegee rivers - western North Carolina's best-known trout rivers, a fly fisherman's dream.

Nearby are ample opportunities for the hiker or hunter. We are located within minutes of the Pisgah National Forest, and within easy driving distance of the Great Smokies, Nantahala National Forest, the Appalachian Trail, and Mountains-to-Sea Trail.

Our guides can advise you on everything from where to get a fishing permit,current river levels and conditions, western NC hunting seasons, and all those 'secret spots' for fishing and hunting that only the experienced locals know about.

Cashiers has remained a secret from the masses and a Garden of Eden for the few hush-mouthed vacationers who return year after year. The winter and spring seasons bring a quiet to the town. If you are a fly fisher, the rivers are silent, without footsteps, and provide the solitude that is so rewarding.

Novembers are mild in climate and can provide excellent fishing. In March, when we begin to see some insect activity, the rivers are empty with a few local fly fishers taking advantage of the beginning of an active entomological phenomenon. The Cashiers/Highlands area is visited mostly in the summer, and although you can catch fish, the more productive fall and spring seasons are overlooked. If you are planning a trip, consider these quieter times.
