What better way is there to show someone that you love them than by taking them on a date? It can rekindle the flames for one another and create new memories. However, although spending time with your loved ones is essential, going out on dates is not always feasible. Sometimes, there may be little money saved up for going out, or there just doesn't seem to be enough time. Or, if you're an introvert, going out can be a lot of work and make you feel exhausted by the end of the date. No matter the reason, planning ways to create memories together is crucial.

North Carolina has become a haven for outdoor enthusiasts looking for activities such as kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, camping, and trout fishing. Western North Carolina (WNC) is home to over 3,000 miles of rivers, lakes, and streams that are open to the public for trout fishing. Every year, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission closes 1,000 miles of the streams and restocks them with trout, making WNC a popular trout fishing hub.
