I have fished the Smokies for over 50 years both in Park and the Tribal waters my favorite place to be!

[@CarolinaOutdoorJournal]

That's amazing! It must be so rewarding to have such a long-standing connection with the Smokies.

[@zachmedeiros4163]

Damn that looks fun! I got my first taste of trout fishing in November of 2021 around Boone, NC and had an awesome afternoon! About 10 trout in 2-3 hours. rainbows and brookies. Videos and pictures never do the beauty of these fish any justice. Such an incredible experience.

[@CarolinaOutdoorJournal]

Yes! you are right!

Where did you go?

[@zachmedeiros4163]

@@fabiomejia2260 no bs, just pick a river. Going off grid a little bit you’re bound to find fish.

I'm heading up to Boone next week, anyone know where the trout are biting this time of year?

Cripple Creek in Rural Retreat ,VA. Yellow Creek in Pn. And Soque River in North Ga. You'll be amazed. Cherokee is king for numbers but for sheer size. Those three are tops

Ever been to crooked creek in va? Seen 7lb brookie pulled out up their

[@bjnelson9490]

@@peytondoss7515 Many times. Roughly 15 or so trips there each year. If that Brook was 7lb they should have registered it. That woyld be a State Record for Va. I doubt it weighed 7 lbs but I'm sure it was a good one. They routinely put Rainbows in that size though

[@reavisstockard2994]

That looks like so much fun !

Yes it is!

What stream is this!?

[@Michael65429]

I believe it's the Raven Fork...

[@tlalexander3]

Yep it's Raven fork since it is the trophy water

[@sparky6200]

Ocanoluftee River running through Cherokee, NC.... But most of the 4 different rivers in that 50sq miles are very, very similar. You cannot go wrong if all you do is get near this area. Tuckaseegee River is also lovely for trout & even wider, like Montana/Colorado. I cant do the right-next-to-a-tree cast yet.

What stream is this

[@sparky6200]

Ocanoluftee River running through Cherokee, NC. This section is called The Raven Fork, but the entire 100sq miles around it hold about 4 different major rivers & their creeks & the same incredible landscape & fishing. Tuckaseegee in Bryson City is as wide as rivers in Montana & Colorado. You cannot go wrong if you just get near this general area of the GSM.

[@fabiomejia2260]

I live near Winston Salem, NC. Where is a good mountain spot to camp and trout fish? I’ll drive 4 hours

[@logancobb4330]

Check out Linville river/Linville gorge. My favorite place to hike in and camp and fish is on the East Fork over by the wahalla fish hatchery. It's where NC SC and GA all touch. Beautiful spot

[@brostoevsky8481]

Wilson Creek

[@pizzulo8111]

Dead fish. You wore them out by not bringing them straight in and unhooking them. They more than likely died from fatigue after you released them. I hope to God that you don't do that with the delicate wild ones. These are stockers but you can still kill them like you did.

[@cindycressler1239]

He didn’t get that by being as fragile as u think

[@sparky6200]

@@cindycressler1239 I love you CIndy- whoever you are

[@Michael65429]

As a life long trout fisherman for over 70 years, I must say that he played that first fish way too long. Granted, these are stockers but you still want to 'preserve and protect". You're setting a bad example to people who don't know any better and will think that's how you're supposed to do it.

[@CarolinaOutdoorJournal]

I appreciate your feedback and concern for the fish.
