The Hottest Spring Fishing in the Smoky Mountains

The hottest Spring fishing in the Smoky Mountains is just around the corner. If your wanting to catch big numbers of trout Spring is the time to do it! A little known fact is the Spring fishing really starts to take off before the official start of Spring. It starts the first week of March!

The Tuckasegee River

The first week of March the Tuckasegee River receives massive stockings of trout that puts the river on par with any river in the nation. Trout count totals per mile exceed 15,000 trout per mile in some stretches of river in March. What that means for fisherman is everywhere you look there are trout! If you are a beginner fly fisher that means you have the best chance of the year to catch your first trout. If you have experience, lookout, because we know you’ll possibly catch more trout now than anytime of your life! The Tuckasegee River receives monthly stockings starting the first week of March and continues each month through June. By the first of May, the Tuckasegee River will have 24,500 trout per mile in the Bryson City stretch. That will make this the second highest trout count per mile of any river in the US! The Tuckasegee River is stocked with Rainbow, Brown and Brook trout.  Fish here average from 14-20 inches with many fish exceeding 20 inches. Pretty impressive! The Tuckasegee River is THE hottest Spring fishing in the Smoky Mountains!
