Casters Fly Shop / Dave Hise

Casters Fly Shop was established in Hickory, North Carolina in 1999. We are located at the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in western North Carolina- the gateway to some of the finest trout waters east and west of the Mississippi. It is our mission, as a Platinum Orvis Dealer, to furnish the fly angler with all the tools necessary to be successful on the water or in front of the fly tying bench.

About Me

My photo
David Hise
Hickory, North Carolina
I grew up in Los Angeles and my fly fishing addiction began at the age of 14. Growing up, I fly fished places like Piru Creek, San Gabriel River, and the LA River; but also made frequent jaunts throughout the West.
I went away to college and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1989 with a degree in Physical Anthropology.
It was at that point, that I strived to become a Forensic Osteologist. I moved to Michigan to attend graduate school at Michigan State University, where I was in the PhD program in Forensic Osteology. Following roughly 3 years of field work, which included many hours in the morgue, I began to wonder if I was really cut out for that line of work.
I understood that fly fishing was my real passion but often wondered how I could make a career out of my hobby. My primary line of work throughout school was guiding and working in fly shops. In my mind, I knew the fly fishing industry. With this in mind, I decided to quit graduate school and move to Montana. The rest is history....
