Brian caught his first fish on the Orvis Clearwater.

Go Daddy is the company who hosts their site.

The olive woolly bugger is their goto fly pattern for the Davidson River.\\xa0

The Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Guide is Brian's most recommended resource.

Gink and Gasoline put together a write up here about the company.

The Drake Magazine is a favorite for both Brian and Dave.
