Jim, that is solid information. These points are great primers in identifying a guide and figuring out what you want from of a guided trip.

I believe residential development along the Clinch River, Tailwater would have significant negative impact on the river as a fishery. The increased runoff from asphalt and artificial insurgents...

Sorry for the delay in replying. From my understanding of the situation; they are looking at trying to push through another Lighthouse Marina-Resort gob that is backed by taxpayer bonds on...

The schemers are at it again to commercialize Norris Dam State Park. Check out my link below to see more information. They have been working on trying to rezone many of the properties along the...

Good job Bud! I believe in paying it forward.

I think this is a key issue pointed out by GrannyKnot and would probably suit your problem in finding a good boot.

I would second the Echo Gecko for a kid!

Good information and interesting perspective. Boat draft is scientifically supported and a boat design can have a draft of just an inch or so. However; that does not take in consideration of a...
