River's Edge Outfitters Fishing Report
|
Posted: Semptember 2011
Cherokee continues to be one of the best places to fish here in Western NC. Whether you are after wild browns, or Trophy Rainbows, make plans to visit and fish the Cherokee area. The Raven's Fork, Oconoluftee, and Soco Creek are fishing fantastic. The hatchery is back to full capacity and big fish are found daily here on the Qualla Boundary. Fish in the Raven's Fork are keying in on midges, stone flies, and streamers, while traditional patterns are working well throughout the general waters.
The park is fishing great and you can find fish rising in the morning and afternoon. Expect to catch fish on stimulators, yellow sallies, and ant patterns. The nymph fishing is starting to turn on; fish are being caught on large nymphs, particularly yellow stoneflies. Hare's ears have been fishing well in the deep runs, and pheasant tails have been fishing well in fast water.
The Tuckaseegee River and Nantahala River Delayed Harvest section opens on October 1st and will be stocked heavily. Expect to catch large trout and don't be afraid to use 4x or 5x tippets. Typical DH patterns: wooly buggers, eggs, Y2k's and San Juan Worms.
