SOUTH HOLSTON & WATAUGA RIVERS

The South Fork Holston River, more often referred to simply as the South Holston, is one of the most renowned fishing rivers in the Southeast. USA Today ranked the South Holston 4th for top fly fishing in the country! Beginning in Virginia, the South Holston River is free-flowing for the first part of its journey down the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The famous tailwaters emanating from the South Holston Dam is where we will find our adventure.
The Watauga River is famous for its year-round trophy trout fishing (brown, rainbow) in its cold, tailwater sections below Wilbur Dam, and offers diverse activities like kayaking, tubing, hiking, and boating on Watauga Lake. It's known for clear water, varied rapids, and a strong trout population.

"This retreat was nothing short of awesome for me. Connecting with other leaders that face the same challenges as I do was very valuable. We learned to focus on developing one’s soul. And the coaching we received was tremendously valuable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to hit the reset button and improve their relationship with God while becoming a better leader."

Aaron | Soul of a Leader

"I was blessed to gain a solid beginning as an angler, but more importantly, I slowed down and allowed God to help me connect with Him through both the teaching and the natural surroundings of the stream. It was beyond my wildest expectations."
