One Extraordinary Day.
A Lasting Impact.
A premier fly-fishing rodeo and after-party benefiting Shepherd Center’s Recreation Therapy Program.
WELCOME TO THE
Soque Slam
For one unforgettable day each fall, anglers, sponsors, volunteers, patients, and friends gather along the Soque River with one shared purpose: to support Shepherd Center.
Teams spend the morning fishing some of North Georgia's most beautiful private waters before everyone comes together for an evening of great food, live music, and celebration. Every cast, every sponsorship, and every ticket helps provide life-changing recreation therapy experiences for Shepherd patients.
