The Hunter Banks Company is the full service fly fishing retailer of the South. Since opening in 1985, we have become the best resource for fly fishing equipment, fly fishing instruction, and fly fishing travel in the region. Our business is built on providing both the best equipment and the best service to all fly fishing anglers. With our passion for fly fishing, we make Asheville North Carolina our home for good reason - it’s the trout capital of the South.

Along with a visit to our world-class fly shop, we invite you to get out on the water with our highly experienced and professional fly fishing guides. Their knowledge and expertise will help you create amazing memories on our beautiful rivers and streams. We have a variety of destinations within our reach as Western North Carolina features over 4,000 miles of public trout water and world-class tailwater fishing awaits you in nearby East Tennessee. If you’re new to the sport, our highly skilled instructors will help you learn to fly fish through our instructional offerings designed to ensure you catch fish and have fun.

Our staff is more than able to arrange your next fly fishing travel adventure or help you develop your own. We love to fish so much that we’ll probably be right there on the trip with you.

While you’re at it, read our blog In The Loop to stay up-to-date on local fly fishing events, stream reports, and product reviews. When you’re ready to book your next vacation, our local partners will help round out an outstanding visit to Western North Carolina with great accomodations, dining, places to visit, and things to do.

See you on the water.
