Peddler,
It sounds like you and I are in the same line or work. I spend most of my week traveling SC, NC and VA peddling. I am going to be in Charlotte this weekend for the show also. I will have my wife and two girls with me though. I am going to leave them at the hotel pool while I am at the show. Let me know how I might find you guys.
Irish,
The Paddler Pub huh. I guess you could say that my most frequented fishing holes are around there. The closest river to me is the Laurel/Shelton Laurel and I fish there probably a couple of times a month. I live about a half hour from there. There are also some nice little creeks in Madison that hold a surprising amount of little wild rainbows. One of my favorite places to fish is the Toe up around your neck of the woods.
