A Guide to Fly Fishing North Carolina mountain trout streams
Saturday, 12 June 2004

The trout streams in the Blue Ridge , Appalachian , & Great Smoky mountains of North Carolina from Cherokee to Asheville to Boone host the best fishing  streams there are in North Carolina .  Some of our neighboring states contain great Fly Fishing trout waters also. With such close access to Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia,  and Georgia the fishing possibilities seem endless. In most of these trout streams and rivers you can catch all three types of trout; like Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Brown Trout. The wild  fish tend to be smaller in NC, more so than the stocked ones, but it takes more stealth to catch the wild trout when fly fishing. The stocked trout are easy to catch at first, but harder as the season progresses. Over all fly fishing in the North Carolina mountains is an exceptional trout fishing haven with over 3,000 miles of trout streams open to fishing through out Western NC. All these streams are enjoyed by many beginners and old timers a like. Once the bug grabs you it will make you think about fly fishing All The Time

Well for those of you that haven’t spent early September in the south it is still solid steamy summer and the mountains are hot and the trout streams are warm and low making it a less than optimal target for a backpacking/trout fishing trip.
