o Many people believe that the trout fishing on the Watauga and South Holston Rivers might be the best in the East. This is the website of my favorite guide, a great guy who teaches as well as getting his clients i nto the fish.

o I belong to this fishing club, and try to get out west for a fishing trip at least once a year. This club is a great way to get on to private water with great fishing without having to go with a guide.
