Owen Edwards
After moving to Boone in 1990 to pursue an Outdoor Recreation degree at Appalachian State University, Owen, an avid backpacker, began to explore the watersheds in the area with a fly rod. Owen quickly became “hooked” on the small streams and the tailraces that the southern Appalachians offer. Working with ASU’s Outdoor Programs as a trip leader while in school furthered Owen’s interest in the backcountry of the area. After school, Owen found it impossible to leave the trout that he had not yet caught and made Boone his home. He now splits his time between guiding, backpacking and fly tying. In the off-season he often takes trips to exotic locations. He’s traveled to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, St Croix, St. Thomas and the Keys in order to add exotic species to his life list of fresh and saltwater gamefish.
