Discover Smith Mountain Lake
SUMMER 2015

Here we are, ready to enjoy another great summer at the
Jewel of the Blue Ridge! In this issue, we salute Conrad
Brothers Marine for their awesome SML Bass Tournament!
We explore a local house with lots of history, we get a peek
inside a home that is a treasure trove of artwork, and we
are introduced to a young bow hunter and his dream of
starting his own TV show!
As always, we give you a little fun, a little heads up on
fishing, and a tricky puzzle to solve… so jump in! Last one
in is a rotten egg!
