Abstract:

The Blue Ridge Parkway extends 469 miles through Virginia and North Carolina. The North Carolina section runs from milepost 216 to milepost 469. In streams just off the parkway is some of the best trout fishing in the state. Anglers can fish from one end of the parkway to the other with either a north Carolina or Virginia fishing license. An NC Comprehensive Fishing License is recommended because of the difficulty in determining the dividing line between federal and state lands. Kibler describes fishing sites in the northern, central, and southern sections of the parkway in North Carolina.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Commission began its Delayed Harvest Program twenty years ago. The program currently covers twenty-one streams and one lake. Regulations require that all fishermen release the trout they catch between October first and the first Saturday in June. They must fish with a single hook artificial lure or fly. Beginning in June, fishermen are allowed to keep seven trout a day. Dean discusses other requirements of the program which is one of the Wildlife Commission's most popular.

Abstract:

When fly-fishing in North Carolina and deciding the right fly to tie on, there are a few factors to consider. Beginning anglers should focus on matching imitation flies to real-life sporadic insect hatches, current insect patterns, and the stream conditions. Most importantly, if the fly is not catching fish, do not be afraid to change it.

Despite Thompson Rivers’classification as a ‘native’ stream, considered one of the best streams in the state, siltation has caused irreparable damage to the environment.
