A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

North Carolina native, Ron Beane, is a former teacher, coach and school administrator. During his tenure as a Caldwell County (NC) Commissioner, a local stream, Wilson Creek, was designated as a Wild and Scenic River. Serving on the National Public Lands Steering Committee and the State of North Carolina’s Clean Water Management Trust Fund Committee gave him a greater appreciation for protecting natural resources and for passing on that passion to our younger generation “to pick up the mantle and carry on.” Through his love of fly fishing, he was fortunate to have met and fished alongside several extraordinary men with equally extraordinary life stories that he felt needed to be preserved. Fishermen of Caldwell County, North Carolina is his response. Ron and his wife live in western North Carolina. They have two children and four grandchildren.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Out of the streams of western North Carolina come individual life stories of a group of men who set themselves apart by choice, The Fly Fishermen of Caldwell County. For generations they roamed the local creeks and rivers, and then adventured beyond, forever searching for the elusive next catch. Like scientists, they studied the trout they sought. As sportsmen, they combined knowledge and passion to create flies and rods that accomplished their goals. As environmentalists they joined forces to protect the waters they fished. Compiled by Ron Beane and Gretchen Griffith, this book is written by the fishermen themselves or by their families.
