ABOUT THE AUTHOR
BORN A MILITARY BRAT, I would like to acknowledge the good sense of my father, Don Ward, for moving us home to my mother’s native east Tennessee; thanks to my mother, Joan, for letting me spend so much time in the mountains and for taking me there whenever I wanted before I learned to drive. Thanks and much appreciation to my loving wife, Diane, who had no problem with me leaving perfectly gainful employment with the state of Tennessee to pursue my dreams of opening a fly shop and starting a guide service. Thank the good Lord for giving me the ability to write with no formal training except for what my high school English teacher, Donna Cantrell, and my English major wife, who’s always my first editor, have managed to drum into my stubborn head. Thanks to my daughters—Crystal, Lauren, and Sara—for being such great fishing and hunting buddies over the years. Thanks to my brother Don for teaching me how to fish with explosives. And many thanks to my Uncle Tom Norton for taking me fishing and hunting every chance he got after my dad passed away in 1976 (the keys to the Ranger bass boat and Toyota Land Cruiser helped a great deal as well!). I owe a lot to my late Uncle Gene Lawson and all those nights on Douglas Lake listening to whippoorwills. The many deer camps in Lower Alabama with Uncle Gary, Tommy Joe Norton, Taylor, and Uncle Tom have a special place in my heart.
.....
One last word. Insofar as I have outlived most of the people I acknowledged in my past fishing books on the Smokies, I have decided not to list any this time. Greg Ward can repay his debts via that bit of print.
Tight lines,
.....
