Title: New board member in AVL
Post by: bandit350 on April 23, 2011, 21:48:02 PM
Found this forum while looking for some info for some of the Robbinsville streams.  My name is Chris and I've lived in Asheville for 4 years now.  Ohio native but resident of AZ prior to WNC (11 years there).  I got into fly fishing simply due to all of the backpacking I've done.  My buddy was a trout guide for several years on the Togiak in AK so he showed me the ropes.  Unfortunately I still suck but have a great time.  Not a trophy fisherman at all.  I am more into getting out to new areas and catching fish that don't see a lot of flies.

I work in medical device sales so I do a lot of driving.  Now that I am a little more comfortable w/ my schedule, I've started taking my rod and some gear w/ me so I enjoy my time on the road.

In my free time I try to be outside as much as possible.  Usually that involves a mountain bike or some running.  Seems lately that means a lot more house work.  However, tomorrow that means taking a buddy to show him how to cast on Curtis.  My wife will be joining us and afterwards we plan on riding Kitsuma (near Ridgecrest on the 40).  Should be a blast.  Going to end the day w/ another mtn. biking friend and her boyfriend around the grill, hopefully w/ some smoothies (either good beer or bourbon).

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Welcome to the board.  I matriculated (drank beer) at Miami U.  So long ago that Bo Schembechler was the football coach.

Was it Heudepol or Schoenling we were drinking?

Kyle actually "Walt's" is in N. Ky.     the only reason we'd venture into Oh. was to dump dead midget hookers ....and yeah.....they're the best ribs you'll ever eat  :P
