In this virtual seminar for the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) Pechmann Fishing Education Center, Asheville Fly Fishing Co. musky guide, Ryan Bednar provides a helpful introduction and overview of fly-fishing for musky in Western North Carolina. The presentation contains an overview of the equipment and tactics for the French Broad River that can help new anglers prepare for pursuing “the fish of ten-thousand casts.”
Galen Kipar casually refers to himself as a “trout ninja.” But his real art is the musical blending of folk, classical, jazz, and blues into what one might call neo-bluegrass or Appalachian jazz. Nathan Oravec profiles Kipar on Gazette.net, where the musician and fly fisher describes the link between water and music: “’Water, particularly rivers, have many different currents. Music is the same way,’ he says. ‘Music has many different currents, and they all work together. Maybe that’s a little far-fetched, but it’s something that’s always fascinated me.’”
