Hunter Banks Fly Fishing
About Us
Hunter Banks Fly Fishing first opened our doors in February 1985. Our mission has remained true for 40 years: foster the fly fishing community in Asheville and the surrounding mountains of Western North Carolina. The two key efforts that drive our mission are offering products that we feel support community members with the best fly fishing gear on the market along with services that ensure fantastic days on the water. All of this is backed by our brand's promise: offer industry-leading customer service and support for every angler every day.
We pride ourselves in creating an environment where we relish the opportunity to connect with beginning and advanced anglers alike. Whether you're a beginning angler curious about the sport and want to know how to get started or a seasoned veteran looking for a new wading boot to ensure you're wading confidently, our team of passionate and friendly fly fishing professionals take great satisfaction in providing the best support possible.
Along with the angler support our team members provide, we also believe that education is a key element to developing our fly fishing community. Tap into the experience of our team and learn more about fly fishing and fly tying through our educational offerings. Whether on the water or at the vise, we hope to connect with you and help propel your skills forward.
Additionally, each year we make considerable investments in several organizations that foster the sport of fly fishing. These include Land O' Sky Trout Unlimited, Casting Carolinas, Project Healing Waters, and many more. Join our community and help us preserve the environment we so dearly love and connect others with the joy we find on the water.
From those who love to fish and serve,
