Forrest was born and raised south of Asheville in Rutherford County. Forrest has been an avid fly fisherman and fly tier from an early age. His mentor, Tim Brigmon, fished with and taught each of us about all the great fishing in this area. Forrest graduated from UNCA with a business degree but like the rest of us decided his business was FISHING! Forrest is well versed in all aspects of fishing but specializes on our Tennessee tail water fishing. He knows these waters as well as anyone in this area and any day on the river with Forrest is guaranteed to be successful and a learning experience.
