Here's just a small sampling of the natural treasures we're lucky to explore and enjoy in our area
Wilson Creek, NC
The famous Wilson Creek! The lower waters of this scenic gorge are stocked with loads of trout during Delayed Harvest season. The upper reaches of the creek provide us the opportunity to hike in search of wary wild trout!
Toe River Watershed
The North Toe and South Toe Rivers both converge to create the Toe River and, later, Nolichucky River. This is an incredible watershed providing everything from fishing for stocked trout in downtown Spruce Pine, to chasing wild amongst the highest peaks on the east coast, to catching smallmouth in the lower reaches.
New River
Flowing through North Carolina and Virginia, the New River delivers truly world-class fishing for Smallmouth Bass. In the warmer months the New provides exciting top water popper action!
Curtis Creek
Another famous delayed harvest stream. Curtis Creek provides all day action catching hefty stocked fish in some beautiful water. If stocked fish aren't your ticket, we can hike in to some incredible wild trout opportunities.
Smith River
Located in Southern Virginia, just over the NC border, the Smith River is the closest trout fishing to the Triad region of NC. Boasting a robust population of wild brown trout and stocked rainbows in the Fall and Winter, the Smith provides a wonderful opportunity for float and wade trips!
Stone Mountain
A favorite location of ours, especially for new anglers, Stone Mountain State Park offers easy access and plentiful fish during Delayed Harvest Season. For those willing to hike, there also exists some wonderful wild trout fishing.
Mills River Watershed
The Mills River watershed offers opportunities for all trout anglers! The North Mills offers excellent delayed harvest fishing. The South Mills offers opportunities for backcountry brown trout. Dozens of other small streams in the area offer excellent wild trout fishing to those willing to hike.
Dan River
Looking for excellent smallmouth fishing not too far from home with incredible mountain scenery? The Dan River is the spot! Due to its small size and limited access, fishing on the Dan is restricted to our Flycraft raft or kayaks
Upper Yadkin River
Often overlooked, the Yadkin River below Wilkesboro can offer some excellent smallmouth bass fishing and even the occasional trout! An easy drive from the piedmont, the Yadkin always makes for an enjoyable day on the water
Backcountry Streams
Lace up your boots! One of our favorite ways to fish is by hiking deep into the backcountry of Western NC to find unpressured, wild trout. With thousands of miles of wild streams in North Carolina, the opportunities are limitless.
