Hello to all! I am a native East Tennessean that has been out of the beautiful East Tennessee for the past...well a long long time. With retirement lurking in the not too distant future, I plan on being back there a lot more, fishing the Little, Abrams, South Holston, and all of the places that I grew up fishing. I plan on subsidising my retirement with a little rod building. I have been at it for a few years as an aggressive hobbyist and now I am stocking up to take it into my retirement life.
I look forward to getting back to Townsend soon and over to LRO because I have a friend that married a lady that works (worked_) there that I made friends with first in Dallas Texas then ran into him again after I moved back to Nashville in 2000.
One of the biggest pleasures I get out of what I have learned in building bamboo, fiberglass and graphite rods, is sharing it with others and helping them whenever I can, s if anyone ever needs a hand at rod repair or anything, I would be glad to help, and if anyone is working with kids in teaching them fly fishing, and needs some gear, I will be glad to do what I can to help.
If any of you ever get to middle Tennessee and want to wet a line in the Caney Fork, give me a shout!
