• Location and Fishing Research: iFishiBelong has simplified your exploration of visiting and fishing Western North Carolina.  We've done the preliminary research of the area, compiled links to relevant travel and fishing blogs, provided guidance on fishing gear and fly choices, and mapped out several fishing spots, focusing primarily on DIY walk and wade fishing opportunities.  While there's still some legwork for each angler, a significant portion of the groundwork has been laid out for you.
• In-Person Workshop Opportunity:  A 4-hour "Independent Angler" Workshop will be offered on Saturday.  This workshop is created to elevate your fly fishing skills and boost your on-water confidence.  Additional fee and registration is required.
• Dedicated Co-Hosts Focusing on Education, Community and Fun
• Commitment to Support Local Businesses and Highlight Women and Underrepresented Owners and Guides in the Region
• Giving Back: The registration fee directly supports iFishiBelong's mission of providing affordable opportunities for individuals of varying financial means through the organization of various cost-effective events and trips.
• Scholarships Available: We are developing a scholarship program for the Fish and Hang events. This program will offer 5 scholarships per location: one primary scholarship covering registration, 4 nights camping at Headwaters campground, NC fishing license, the "Independent Angler" workshop, and $250 for travel.  Additionally, the remaining 4 scholarships will cover the costs of registration and 4 nights of camping fees at the Headwaters campground.  The scholarship application period is from March 1st to March 31st, 2024.  Stay Tuned.
