Ken Peterson with a nice largemouth bass caught in the mountains of North Carolina on July 20, 2001 (click image for full view)

Ken Peterson and Tom Martin are--according to Altamont Anglers guide, Teo Whitlock--"so addicted to fishing". Well, they may or may not be addicted, but they're definitely avid about angling and are regular occupants of Altamont Anglers boats on the waters of Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. To judge by the pictures, they conquered those waters again on July 20 and 21, 2011 catching their usual numbers of smallmouth bass, and even a few largemouth.

The trout fishing and the smallmouth bass fishing are highly regarded around Asheville, NC, but what's not so widely known is the diversity of our fisheries: add in the musky and striper fishing, and local anglers have more choices than most...
