Altamont Anglers guides and their clients develop lasting relationships (hopefully), and record the evolving stream-side friendships with their waterproof cameras! Here's an archive of fishing trips of gone by shared by Scott Luttrell, his son David and their guide Teo:

Scott Luttrell divides his time between a home and business near Tampa, FL and a home here in the mountains, near Asheville, NC. He and his son, David, came up before Christmas and called upon their "regular" guide, Altamont Anglers' Teo Whitlock for some time on the Davidson River. Here are some pre-Christmas net-stuffers, gifts of the Davidson River for Scott and David:

Here's David during some un-seasonably pleasant weather, right before Christmas 2006, with a nice rainbow (click the image for a larger view)...
David Luttrell holds a big rainbow trout caught on the Davidson River, near Asheville, NC

And here's Scott with a nice pre-Christmas present from the trout Gods in the form of a beautiful Davidson River brownie (click to enlarge the picture)...
