troutnabout 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2006 Bryce: I live in charlotte,NC. I first got introduced to southern appalachian patterns at Davidson river outfitters . You know Kevin Howell who's dad was a big loca tyer. Where do you live in Western NC? I love to fish the Tuckaseege. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues Brother 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2006 Ahh, I figured you were from somewhere 'round these parts. I live in Burnsville NC. Close to the South Toe River. Heard of it? Yeah, I know who Kevin is. I don't personally know him, though. I've never fished the Tuckaseege, but I heard of a wild 22" brookie caught from there back in '69. ~Bryce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troutnabout 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2006 Yeah I've heard of it but never fished it. Always looking for a new river. Where is it and what's it like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
