Mike and Karen McBee live on a beautiful, bass-filled lake near Benton, KY, a fitting location for avid anglers like the McBees. And when they travel (at least when they travel to Asheville, NC), they explore the waters for fishy possibilities. They booked some fishing with us last year and had enough success with the guidance of Altamont Anglers' Teo Whitlock to call us for a return trip this year. Mike and Karen sought out the wiley trout of Eastern Tennessee on a float trip down the Watauga River (Teo at the oars), and the next day Mike and his buddy Ron sought out some of the equally wiley Smallies on a float trip down the South Fork of the Holston River. Here's Karen with a nice, fat, Watauga River rainbow on September 21, 2007 (click the image for a larger view)...

And here's Mike McBee with an even fatter smallmouth bass caught on the South Fork of the Holston on the next day, 9/22/2007 (click the image to enlarge)...
