Trout Fishing in WNC
Western North Carolina is known for its trout
fishing. Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Brook
Trout team in these rivers in abundance. The
Nantahala River is actually stocked with 10,000 fish
grown in hatcheries once a year every Spring! Of
course there are other types of fish that live in these
waters but trout fishing seems to be the fish of
choice especially when some are pulling award
winning sized beasts from these shallow rivers!
