I grew up fishing in the mountains of West Virginia for trout on Pinnacle Creek and smallmouth bass on the New River.  I came to East Tennessee on a basketball scholarship in 1988 and loved this area so much I never left.  I have been fly-fishing South Holston and Watauga for 20 years.  I have over ten years experience floating the South and North Fork of the Holston in Tennessee and the James and New River in Virginia.  My experience will be a plus for beginners and advanced fishermen alike.

"Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers.  Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary." Patrick F. McManus
