HOME. ⁣ ⁣ Thank you all for the kind words as I’ve spent the last three days traveling from Tennessee to Colorado. Nothing about the moving process is easy, but having so much support from y’all has meant the world to me ❤️💙 ⁣#colorado #home
Three days, one 16’ pod, and a last minute u-haul rental later, I’m ready to start the 22 hour drive to Colorado! Any suggestions on what I should check out first when I get there?
Proud to be an American.⁣ 🇺🇸 ⁣ Thankful to be celebrating today the best way I know how. Happy Fourth!
Trying my hand at spin fishing this week. Not pictured: Entire spool of line tangled around the reel 😬 #bassfishing
“Rocky Top, you'll always be⁣ Home sweet home to me,⁣ Good ol' Rocky Top (woo!)⁣ Rocky Top, Tennessee”⁣ ⁣ Tennessee sure has been good to me.⁣ Taking a few minutes to reflect on the last 5 years while I plan the big move to CO.
I’ve been waiting for the right moment to announce that I am MOVING to Colorado! My last float on the South Holston was a perfect reflection of my experience living in Tennessee. It started as a beautiful day when an unexpected storm started to creep up on us. Several boats were gathered on the same stretch - we were all looking around at each other trying to decide what to do. We were prepared to hunker down and wait for it to pass. I said, “Well, at least we’re all in this together.” The clouds continued to roll in and we could hear thunder in the distance, growing louder. Lightning started cracking and strong winds broke limbs off trees. One by one, anchors came up and we collectively decided to make a run for it. I pulled up the anchor and used all my strength to power through the wind. My heart was feeling heavy because all I wanted that day was to see one more of the South Holston’s legendary sulphur hatches. Patrick Fulkrod from @soho_rivercompany rowed by and let us know about a house off the water we could wait out the storm at. We made it there a short while after and were welcomed inside with open arms and true southern hospitality. We talked about fishing and watched USA vs. France until the storm passed. We got back on our boats and my disappointment had lifted - the sulphurs hatched and fish were rising everywhere. I’m going to miss the tailwaters and all of the people I’ve met throughout my 5 year Tennessee adventure, but I’m excited to see what is to come at my new home in Colorado! #movingtocolorado #flyfishing
