Fly Fishing Museum of the Southern Appalachians

If you find yourself in Cherokee, North Carolina you should make a point to check out the Fly Fishing Museum of the Southern Appalachians. 

The FFMSA provides a center for learning both the history of fly fishing as well as the arts, the sciences, the crafts and the skills of fly fishing. The purpose of the museum is to capture and preserve the history of fly fishing in the region, since it is being lost daily as our “old timers” pass away and as modern methods and new generations of anglers move fly fishing forward through technology.

Judging from the list of exhibits and names on the site, the museum features a well rounded history of fly fishing in the Appalachian mountains.  If you get a chance to check it out let me know what you think.
