Back in October, 2006, Jim Marshall put together a family retreat to the mountains around Asheville, NC during which he and his son David and daugher-in-law Rosie took time out for a half-day guided trip with Altamont Anglers' guide Teo Whitlock. They had so much fun on that trip that they returned right before Christmas for another taste of our fine North Carolina trout fishing.

Teo took advantage of some unseasonably warm weather to take the Marshall clan over to the Davidson River, where Jim received a fine early Christmas present in the form of one hog of a Davidson River brown trout.

Here's Jim with an early Christmas present, courtesy the Davidson River (click the image for a larger view)...
