Fishing in Cherokee, North Carolina has some new changes taking effect on April 1st, 2026.
Listed on the photo below are the changes. One of the most important changes deals with hiring a guide to fish and/or fly fish theses waters. Your guide will have to be an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

Enrolled member Jason Cole and owner of Hookers Fly Shop and Guide Service has grown up fishing here and has guided close to thirty years on these waters. Come fish with us and let us show you what fishing in Cherokee North Carolina is all about.
