 Boone
North Carolina Flyfishing, Trout Fishing and More
Fishing the lakes, streams, rivers and ponds that dot the Western
North Carolina and East Tennessee mountains is one of the favorite
pasttimes of our visitors.
Fishing means different things to different people. For some, it
simply means to plop down alongside of a stream and daydream.
For others it means going after that trophy fish...whether that
trophy is a rainbow trout or whatever your favorite fish is.
Whatever your passion, you can find it in the Boone, Blowing Rock
and High Country area waters.
The quality of trout fishing available to visitors in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains has gone relatively unnoticed by many avid
fishermen. Come discover the angling opportunities of the Southeast
with us.
Here are some of the favorite fishing excursions of the area:
Watauga River
The upper section of the river offers anglers the opportunity to try
streamer fishing for trophy browns and rainbows. Because of the
increased aeration from the dam, there can also be dry fly
opportunities for these same fish. This float goes through some
class II and III rapids and rarely will be fishing among other
anglers.
The middle sections of the Watauga River fishes the best during
early spring and fall. The water floated in this section offers many
dry fly opportunities floating through swift riffles and
characteristic limestone shelves. This deeper water can also
challenge the angler with streamer opportunities.
(Note: There are many sections along Hwy 105 between Boone and
Banner Elk to fish. Simply ask any of the area's guides (some shown
below) and they will tell you the best spots!
South Holston
The South Holston has benefited from the implementation of a weir
dam, slot limits, and protected spawning grounds over the years.
These special steps have taken the South Holston in to the national
spotlight. This unique fishery can have remarkable hatches and
produce trophy resident brown and rainbow trout. Many of the area's
fishing guides provide float trips on the South Holston.
