Teo Whitlock and Ginny Fergus share the frame with her beautiful Watauga River rainbow on July 15, 2008 (click to enlarge the image)

Browning Fergus has been making an annual visit to the High Hamptons Lodge, in Cashiers NC for awhile, and the last few years he's made a point of booking some fly fishing time with AA guide Teo Whitlock. This year, July 15, 2008 Browning included his wife, brother and Sam for a 2-boat drift down the Watauga River.

Browning's wife, Ginny, absorbed the lessons taught by Teo and was rewarded for her efforts with--among many others--the fine rainbow on the left.

Browning has tested most of the types of fishing we have to offer, over the years: backcountry brook trout fishing, Davidson River lunker-hunting and now the Tennessee tailwaters. We'll share the email he sent after this float trip, and you'll get an idea which suits him best:

"I wanted to thank you for the best float trip ever! Special thanks to Teo for teaching my wife Ginny the successful techniques and style of fly fishing. She really had a great time. We had a great day foating the beautiful Wautauga River. My brother George had the best fly fishing day in his whole life, as did Sam.

All in all it was a wonderful success and we are already talking about
coming up there again!"
