Join North Carolina Backcountry Hunters & Anglers for a special pint night at Speckled Trout Outfitters featuring author Neil Norman.
Neil will be discussing his new book, Tight Lines and Tall Tales, a deep dive into the rich and often overlooked tradition of fly fishing in Southern Appalachia. Blending archival research, personal experience, and oral histories, the book traces the region’s angling heritage—from early figures like Mark Cathey to the modern era shaped by conservation groups like Trout Unlimited.
More than just a history of fishing, Neil’s work explores the culture, ecology, and storytelling that define Southern Appalachian waters, offering a fresh perspective on a region often misunderstood as merely a tourist destination.
Come out for a great evening of conversation, community, and cold drinks. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
When: June 25th, 5-8PM
Where: Speckled Trout Outfitters Boone, 140 S Depot St, Boone NC 28607
