After a quick trip into Greenville, my curiosity about the waters and landscape went into overdrive. One night, doomscrolling at the hotel, I ran across John's profile and knew we had to get him on the show. This is a great discussion about the Smoky Mountains and the wide array of rivers within, as John says, a good "cup of coffee." The South continues to grow on me as a place of intrigue for fly fishing, so we wanted to spend some time finding out just what it is that makes this place so special to so many anglers. https://www.haresearflyfishing.com/
