WNC Fishing Report - March 12, 2014
March is usually a pretty slow month for fishing in western North Carolina due to most streams being closed for their annual stocking. However, all delayed harvest streams are open as well as all native trout-designated waters, including all of the Great Smoky National Park streams.
Here are a couple of fish that my dad caught on one of these 70 degree afternoons earlier in the month. They are both big, fat stocked brookies from the delayed harvest section of Big Snowbird creek in Graham County. He and my uncle caught over 50 fish both on spinners and fly fishing for the afternoon!
I follow several different local fly shops on Facebook and Instagram (such as Hooker's fly shop in Sylva and Fontana Guides from Bryson City) and there are reports of 150+ fish days on the delayed harvest section of the Tuckaseegee and Raven's Fork in Cherokee. R&R Fly Fishing in Tennessee is reporting an increase in dry fly action in the park and plenty of native trout on nymphs. If you get a chance, get out and play on some of these awesome rivers!
