BUCK PAYSOUR is the author of "Bass Fishing in North Carolina" and "Tar Heel/ Angler". He lives in Greensboro, NC and writes a weekly fishing column for ESP magazine.

People who love fly fishing love North Carolina, for no other place on earth offers a greater variety of fish to catch or more beautiful settings in which to catch them. Nobody loves fly fishing North Carolina's widely varied waters more than Buck Paysour. He has spent many years wandering from coast to mountains, fly fishing for speckled sea trout in the brackish sounds, for sunfish in the tannic black rivers, for largemouth bass in the Piedmont lakes, and for native wild trout in the tumbling mountain brooks.

He has fished with many of the state's finest fly fishermen and fisherwomen, seeking their expert knowledge on where and how to catch every type of fish that can be caught on a fly rod in North Carolina waters.

"Bass Fishing in North Carolina" is not only packed with practical information on where and how to experience the best fly fishing available anywhere, but it is also a tribute to the grace and beauty of a much beloved sport and a much beloved state.

UPDATE

The sunrise over Currituck Sound lost a little of its luster on Wednesday, June 6, 2001.  We lost our gentle friend and longtime outdoor columnist Buck Paysour after a long battle with cancer.  He was 69.

"Buck touched the lives of thousands of people with his columns," said Irwin Smallwood, former managing editor of the News & Record and its predecessors, The Greensboro Daily News.

In May 2002, the NC Board of Transportation enacted a resolution naming a new bridge over Scranton Creek on U.S. 264 in Hyde County as "The Buck Paysour Memorial Bridge" in his honor.
