Walt Pabers spent a half-day on the Davidson River under the guidance of Altamont Anglers' guide Teo Whitlock recently, and the conversation must have included some talk of the South Holston River (one of our favorite destinations) because he came back for a crack at those Holston River browns last week. While the big spawners haven't started moving yet, the resident population of big brown trout in the South Holston rivals any stream we know of, and with proper guidance can provide some great fishing.

As far as guidance, here's what Walt writes: "I had another great trip with Teo, who I'd have to say once again is the best guide I've ever been with and the most knowledgeable fisherman that I have ever fished with. I consider myself to be a good trout fisherman but Teo taught me new techniques that will be invaluable to me fishing in NC and also in my home waters."
