Okay, you trout fishermen. If you fly fish in the Blue Ridge and don’t know where this is, you just don’t know nuthin’! Mortimer was a thriving(?) village back in the 1930s, but this shop is all that is left today. But it’s right by some great fishing on Wilson Creek, with its rock canyons and deep pools, stocked with trout. Now don’t expect a four-lane Highway to Mortimer; in fact just hope the potholes and wash boarding in the gravel road has been graded recently!
