rowing up in McDowell County, the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, Rich Teeter enjoyed many components of a southern adolescence.

With no direct legacy of fly-fishing from fathers or grandfathers, Rich began fishing for trout the way many young boys in the south did – with worms and other effective bait.
