It’s a new year, and Ingles is still on the road to find all the Carolinas have to offer. They’ve got some exciting places lined up for you. Kicking off the first stop of the year, Chris Bainbridge takes you to Soque River in Northeast Georgia.

Blackhawk Fly Fishing is a premier destination for anglers from around the world, with beautiful home-grown meals and some of the best fishing you’ll find anywhere.

Ingles Markets and Blackhawk have a fun history. This place is the home of Abby J, an Ingles Table all-star. If you’re not familiar with the Ingles Table, it’s an excellent resource for amazing recipes brought to you by an incredible lineup of chefs, foodies, bloggers, and more.

Abby J has a ton of Blackhawk items that are sold in Ingles stores. Bainbridge’s favorite is the sweet fire pickles. She creates unforgettable meals for guests who visit Blackhawk for some fun in the mountains, to sit around the table, and tell tales about their time on the river.

Start your day by getting geared up in some of the best fly-fishing attire you’ll ever wear. You’re welcome to bring your own, but why would you when Blackhawk has the best you’ll find?

Bainbridge remembers his first-time fly-fishing with this dad on the Linville River and falling in with hip waders that quickly filled with water. As his dad emptied them out with Bainbridge’s feet up in the air, here comes his friend around the corner to witness his proud moment. She thought it was pretty funny.

If you’re a beginner fly-fisherman or a seasoned one, the staff at Blackhawk will show you how it’s done. You learn as you go. Believe it or not, they can help the most novice guys, like Bainbridge, hook some trout that will leave the most expert of anglers reaching for their cameras.

Blackhawk is open year-round. During the colder months, the fishing is great, and the crowds are smaller than they are in the spring, summer, and fall. If you’re looking for a memorable experience—whether you’re a first-time fisherman or an experienced angler Blackhawk Fly Fishing is an amazing time for all. You can stock up and refuel for your drive home at the Ingles Market just up the road.
