Fly fishing trips on the Tuckasegee River

The Tuckasegee River has been producing some impressive numbers and some of the biggest fish we have seen in the last few seasons. With the recent March and April stocking on the delayed harvest sections fishing on the Tuckasegee has been fantastic. One more stocking in early May will add another 10,000 fish. With the May stocking the Webster and Dillsboro delayed harvest section average over 9,000 trout per mile. Now is the time to book a wade or float on this section of the Tuckasegee River.

Spring fishing here in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee has been hot.  Recent guided trips on the Tuckasegee, Nantahala, Raven Fork, West Fork of the Pigeon and the Smokies have been producing some very nice fish.  Our float trips on the Tuckasegee River Delayed Harvest have been some of our best trips.  Pictured above is big brown trout new client Tanner landed a couple of weeks ago.  This big fish couldn’t resist a #8 Black/Olive Hot Head Marvin Stonefly.

The fishing on the Delayed Harvest Streams will get even better next week when they receive the April stocking.  The Webster/Sylva section of the Tuck will get another stocking just shy of 10,000 trout.  We still have some openings for April wade and float trips on this river.

The Raven Fork in Cherokee, NC has been producing some nice big bows this spring.  You may not find the numbers here like you would on a delayed harvest stream but these fish are definitely healthy.  Trout here average 18″ or more.  It is not uncommon to hook into 20-25″ rainbows and browns.

Fly Fishing Hazel Creek in the Smokies

Fly Fishing Hazel Creek

Hookers Fly Shop and Guide Service offers both day trips and overnight trips to Hazel Creek.  Hazel Creek is one of the most famous streams located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  This stream is a tributary of the Little Tennessee River and flows out of the GSMNP and into Fontana Lake.  This area offers some of the best fly fishing in the Smokies.  It is also a fantastic place to hike and camp.  You can start at Fontana Lake and hike all the way up to Clingmans Dome but most hikers usually start at Clingmans Dome and hike down.

The flows on the Tuckasegee have been lower in the morning hours so the opportunity for wading is possible.  With the current schedule for March 8th-10th, 2016 you can wade up until 11am until the East Fork hits on the upper end of the DH.  This schedule is also subject to change without notice so it is best to look at it each day.  Click here to see the three day generation schedule.

Tuckasegee River Trout Fishing Guided Trips

Tuckasegee River Trout Fishing

Beautiful float trip on the Tuckaegee today.  The fishing has really heated up with the recent March stocking of the Tuckasegee River Delayed Harvest.  Every March, April, May, October and November the state stocks close to 10,000 trout each stocking month.  This 5.5 mile section of river produces some of the highest catch rates and some of the areas biggest trout.  Below is a pic of a big brown that we landed today on our float trip.
