Shannon Young
Maggie Valley Fly Shop

 "History of Fly Fishing in the Smokies"

Shannon Young, who began fly fishing as a teenager in the mountains of North Georgia, was a bass angler for 30 years and fished the B.A.S.S. State Federation circuit for three years before opening a guide service in Western North Carolina. Young loves to instruct and guide clients in the art of European or "Czech" nymphing.

Shannon and his wife Kristin own and operate Maggie Valley Fly Shop in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. As an avid fly angler, pro-starffer for Hardy Fly Rods as well as Cortland Line Company, guide, and fly shop owner, Young is driven to welcome novices into the quiet sport of fly fishing and introduce them to the enduring beauty of the outdoors.
