Special thanks to Alen Baker of the Fly Fishing Museum of the Southern Appalachians & Allyn Morton from Appalachian Trail Days for joining the program this week.
One announcement:
The SCDNR Black Bass Slam is being promoted & celebrated by the state of SC. The goal is getting people to fish more places in the state while pursuing other species of fish. The four targets are Largemouth, smallmouth, redeye, & spotted bass.
Participants must email photos of the fish from the side & a pic of themselves with the fish. Each submission must include date, location, angler contact info & your fishing license number. This can be sent to SCBassSlam@dnr.sc.gov

The Carolina Outdoor producer, TJ, thinks that an 8-weight fly rod in Charlotte would be perfect to pursue all four of the black bass species.
