Dads On The Fly

122. An experienced white water kayaker learns to fly fish. Lessons from the river with Pastor Heath Davis.


Listen Later

In this episode, Joshua and Caleb are joined by Pastor Heath Davis of Pinnacle Church in Canton, NC. Local to western North Carolina, Heath grew up fishing with his family in some of our favorite streams. Before entering the ministry, Heath served ten years in the U.S. Military as a Marine. After service in the Marines, he braved public education and taught at Canton Middle School. Now, he serves as the Lead Pastor of Pinnacle Church which he planted in 2006. Heath fell in love with the river at an early age, but after his time in the marines and moving back to the mountains of North Carolina he pursued that love as a white water kayaker. It wasn't until a recent trip to Montana and catching fish on the Bighorn River that he became "hooked" on trout on the fly.

In this conversation we discuss the connections between white water kayaking and fly fishing, we're reminded of some of the early frustrations of new anglers, and we hear one of the wildest stories of learning you're a father.
