He also fished for taimen in Asia.
His military service included involvement in the early days of the Naval Nuclear Power Program. I remember discussing it when I was in the program in the 80s.Carter came to visit TMI after the accident in March 1979.
His book " An Hour Before Daylight" (think I have it right?) is a good read. He is a quality individual.

Read the section about the "1952 NRX incident". A little tidbit about Mr. Carter when he was U.S. Navy officer.
Hoover. I really enjoyed Hoover, The Fishing President. Although, I know TR fished, I am not sure about fly fishing. He didn't really like fishing very much. On his famous trip to Yellowstone, many in his group fished while he counted Elk and killed and stuffed a mouse. I think maybe Eisenhower. He fished up in Rangely. Coolidge fished in the Black Hills.Can anyone remember what other presidents fly fished? Thinking possibly Teddy Roosevelt? I do recall a publicity shot of Bush sr. standing in the surf holding a spinning reel upside down.
