The High Country area of North Carolina (considered by local fishermen to be much of North Carolina's section of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Avery, and Watagua counties) boast the best trout waters in the state. In most streams you can sink your hook into Rainbow and Brown trout. Brook trout are primarily caught in the higher elevations where the streams are a bit more pristine. But beware, these fish require a bit more patience and skill because Brook Trout are often spooked or scared easily.
The North Carolina mountains have an abundance of streams for you to fly fish. The streams listed here are just a few of the more popular streams in North Carolina for you to sink your line. Many of these streams are easily accessible and will allow even the most novice of fisherman to catch their limit of trout, while others require a great deal of patience, skill, and determination.
