Fishing

The High Country literally abounds with fish and thus fishing opportunities. Bear Den Campground is an oasis of 400 scenic acres within the Pisgah National Forest. Trout Fishing Pisgah is easily accessed from Bear Den as is NC Fly Fishing. Bear Den’s location in the Pisgah National Forest, renowned for its fertile fishing grounds, makes Bear Den Campground the perfect Cabin Rental in Pisgah National Forest. Flowing just outside of Bear Den Campground in Spruce Pine NC are Grassy Creek and the North Toe River. Both of these rivers offer fabulous waters for trout and fly fishing. In fact, Spruce Pine NC, in Mitchell County, was recently designated a “Mountain Heritage Trout City.” This designation presides over a 2.3 mile section of the North Toe River, stretching from the Highway 226 Bridge to the US 19E Bridge. Fishing enthusiasts who want to fish in Mountain Heritage Trout Waters may purchase a 3-day license for $5, however, this license is only valid for waters that are designated as Mountain Heritage Trout Waters. You can be sure to find the three trout species of the North Carolina Mountains, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Brook Trout, in the North Toe River and Grassy Creek. Strict regulations for NC Fly Fishing and Trout Fishing in North Carolina define fishing activities in the High Country. Be sure to consult blue and yellow diamond-shaped signs stating local fishing regulations as they can change for each river.

The North Toe River also flows in Avery County, which borders Mitchell County and Spruce Pine to the north. Avery County is also home to the Linville River with hatchery supported fishing. Upper Wilson Creek Area, southwest of the Blue Ridge Parkway, has wonderful natural trout waters in Avery and Caldwell Counties. This area includes Harpers Creek Wilderness Study Area and can be accessed from 221 at Grandmother Mountain. Turn onto SR 1514 and follow to intersection with FS-192 and turn right on FS-192. Wilson Creek is termed a "National Wild and Scenic River" along its upper portions and is a popular fishing destination in the High Country. Maps of Wilson Creek Area can be purchased at area U.S. Forest Ranger stations or local gear shops. Wilson Creek is open to year-round fishing and is managed by North Carolina Wilderness Resource Commission’s Catch and Release, Artificial Lures Only regulations. Wild Rainbow and occasional Brook and Brown Trout are present in Wilson Creek.

Lost Cove Creek is another angler’s destination. Take SR-1514 to intersection of FS-981, and then take another right onto FS-981 and follow to several trailheads for Lost Cove Creek. FS 981 turns into SR 1511 and intersects the Blue Ridge Parkway near Linville. Lost Cove Creek is managed by NCWRC’s Catch and Release, Fly-Fishing Only regulations. Lost Cove Creek flows through the Lost Cove Wilderness Study Area and is one of the most primitive and pristine in the Pisgah National Forest. Lost Cove Creek boasts deep pools and steep, small falls which make chest-waders a must. All three species of Trout Pisgah abound in Lost Cove Creek though no fish may be harvested or possessed from Lost Cove Creek.

Harper Creek Falls Pisgah National Forest NC is known not only for its beautiful hikes but also for trout and fly fishing. Take SR-1514 to FS-464 and turn right on FS-464. Follow to trailheads for Harper Creek area. North and South Harper Creeks are managed by NCWRC’s Wild Trout regulations. Like Lost Cove Creek, the terrain surrounding the Harper Creeks is steep and rough. Large, deep pools feature Brook, Brown and Rainbow Trout.
Like the other waters in the High Country, Harper Creek Falls is open to fishing year-round. Four trout at least 7 inches long may be harvested per angler per day. Andrews Creek, also in the Upper Wilson Creek Area, features only brown trout but flows through several open meadows and wildlife fields. Fish may not be retained in this area though fishing is open year-round.
