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.”
I have at times wrecked my life to catch fish, and I've caught fish in periods of redemption. There was a very long period in my life where I spent so much time on the water that my boots, waders, and fly boxes were never dry, so for two days last week it was odd to be doing the very thing I've done thousands of times while having an overwhelming and unique feeling of gratitude. ~ A native of Bristol Tennessee, Knox Campbell is a father, husband, occupational therapist, fly fisherman & guide & writer.
While most of the northern states are nearing the end of their musky season, our southern musky rivers like the French Broad River near Asheville are simply transitioning into a new phase in the area’s nearly year-round season.
