On today’s episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, we’re excited to introduce our brand-new WNC Fly Shop Spotlight Series! We’ll be sharing our vision for this series, how we plan to feature local fly shops across Western North Carolina, and why these small businesses are so important to the fly fishing community. If you have a favorite fly shop in NC, let us know in the comments—we’d love to highlight them in a future episode!

We’re also diving into Fishmasters.com’s latest ranking of the top 30 trout streams in North Carolina. We’ll break down their selections, share our thoughts on which picks they got right (and which ones they might have missed), and discuss some of our personal favorite fishing spots across the state.

It’s a packed episode filled with exciting new plans, expert takes, and plenty of great discussion. Tune in, enjoy the show, and don’t forget to share your go-to NC fly shop for a chance to see it featured in our upcoming Fly Shop Spotlight!
