ABOUT DAVE

Dave is an Asheville native and third-generation Western North Carolina trout angler. He grew up fishing, backpacking, skiing and mountain biking in the area. His passion was developed at a young age but it is safe to say he is obsessed with the Southern Appalachians and their endless opportunities!

Dave attended Appalachian State in the heart of the High Country. He graduated with degrees in Geography and Outdoor Recreation and went on to pursue careers in the outdoor industry.

Dave currently lives in Asheville full-time and works as a sales rep in the outdoor Industry and fly fishing guide. “Working in the industry has provided some incredible opportunities to travel and fish all over the country; I rarely go anywhere w/o a fly rod in my pack!” Whether it is sneaking in a day of winter Steel-heading on the Deschutes in Oregon before a meeting, joining coworkers in the Florida Keys to chase Tarpon after a work event, or even finding a day to catch an Atlantic Salmon on his honeymoon in Ireland, Dave always seems to find a way to get on the water.

Tagging a day of fishing onto as many trips as possible allows him to see different species and different waters. His fishy travels have served him and his clients well back on his favored home waters surrounding Asheville. His first love will always be the cool, crisp trout waters of WNC and the South Hoston River and Watauga River in east TN. “There is nothing like standing in cold water in the summer casting to rising trout.” Dave’s days off are spent in the woods. Usually on a bike trail or in a trout stream, sometimes with his family and two German Shepards, but always in the forest! Click here to view Daves’s guided trip photos.
