This was Tony's year to host the Great Viking Campout and he took the boys to Asheville, NC. I drove directly from a work conference in Atlanta and started a day early spending the night in Brevard for craft brews and wild brown trout. The Davidson River has been on my list to wet line and and it lived up to its reputation. It was a beautiful, gin clear freestone that gets tons of pressure which in turn creates very challenging and technical fishing. Catching a few of these trout exceeded my expectations and really started the trip off on the right foot.
This Davidson River (freestone!) wild brown rivaled the awesomeness of any I've caught on my native PA limestoners.
The rest of the boys showed up Friday afternoon to set camp outside of Asheville for a fun couple days of disc golf, corn hole, Polish horseshoes, fishing and, of course, more good beer. The weather was perfect and the camping location was outstanding. Great 2018 camp out and looking forward already to 2019.
