You react to a jumping rise, the flicker of a brown breaks the water and your heart skips a beat. Surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine National forest, the headwaters of the Cullasaja river flows for two miles right through your club, making it prime habitat for the illustrious trout. For resident water whippers and flea flickers the waders hang at the ready, with that Orvis vest showing off recent flies on wool.
A river literally runs through it!

Adding to the daily distraction is Ravenel Lake, a 27-acre cold water lake stocked annually with 5 species of trophy trout.  Seriously…picture yourself canoe casting on your mountain lake with the morning mist all around you. While others are just waking, you’ve thanked an old friend for a good fight, wished him well, hoping to see him again someday soon.
