Appalachain Anglers

theo and hayden copeland are among the best fly-fishermen and flyshop
owners in the area. you can't go wrong with them, and they are always
interested in helping new anglers discover the joy of shoppi...uh, i
mean flyfishing. g seriously, great guys and i'm told they are
excellent instructors. years ago, theo taught me the surgeons loop for
nymph fishing. i was just wandering about the shop and he struck up a
conversation with me as if i was a friend he'd been fishing with for
some time.

before i met wally, app anglers was my favorite and preferred shop. imo,
it was the best open shop in the boone area. however, when you decide
to begin acquiring stuff - and you will - be sure to take the pleasant
drive down 181 to morganton and visit walt's shop too.

Inspired by this beautiful, relatively warm day in Boone, I decided to pay
the folks at Appalachian Anglers a visit to find out a little bit about fly
fishin lessons. They seem like a nice couple of guys.
Any of you North Carolina fly fishers familiar with the place? If so, what
do you think of them?
