Fly Fishermen of Caldwell County: North Carolina Life Stories

Out of the streams of western North Carolina come individual life stories of a group of men who set themselves apart by choice, The Fly Fishermen of Caldwell County. For generations they roamed the local creeks and rivers, and then adventured beyond, forever searching for the elusive next catch. Like scientists, they studied the trout they sought. As sportsmen, they combined knowledge and passion to create flies and rods that accomplished their goals. As environmentalists they joined forces to protect the waters they fished. Compiled by Ron Beane and Gretchen Griffith, this book is written by the fishermen themselves or by their families.
