Evan Slagle

Member since January 2024 Asheville, United States
Background
I'm a born and raised Asheville native (5th gen). I have had a rod & reel in my hands since infancy. My in-depth knowledge of these mountains & streams gives me an advantage. I specialize in float trips & backcountry Brook Trout.
Techniques
I prefer fly fishing as well as traditional spinning reel fishing. I excel with dry fly, nymphing, and streamer fishing.
