Fly Fishing for Trout on Two Delayed Harvest Streams || Fly Fishing North Carolina

In this video, which was shot in early May, I head up to Western North Carolina for a two day trip hoping to get into some delayed harvest trout. First we fish Fires Creek and then we fish the West Fork Pigeon RIver the next day. Unfortunately, high waters prevent much success on day one. On day two, we find ourselves surrounded by extremely high fishing pressure. Regardless, we each catch a few trout on both days. Days spent on the water are better than days spent working.

Hello i started fishing over 60 years ago and have to say i really enjoy your videos your a very good fisherman .keep the videos comming .perhaps one day you could do one on places that are easily accessable for folks who cant hike or walk as far as they use too lol thanks goodlucRick

Thanks Rick. I like to consider the Nantahala delayed harvest (NC) pretty accessible. The river is almost always next to the road, some spots being easier that others. Big snowbird creek delayed harvest (NC) is similar. Smith creek delayed harvest (GA) requires a little walking but I consider it pretty accessible as well. Maybe the Tallulah river near the upper campgrounds (GA). Stocked catch and keep waters tend to be easier to access. I generally like to fish delayed harvest waters as they offer good fishing for 2/3 of the year.
