Whether you are fly fishing for native brook trout in a cold mountain stream, smallmouth or largemouth bass in beautiful Fontana Lake or rainbow or brown trout in one of the many stocked streams, Swain County hosts one of the most diverse fishing habitats in the world.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Nantahala National Forest offer hundreds of miles of spectacularly clear streams. Just a few minutes from Bryson City, the sparkling waters of Deep Creek are ripe for fly fishing, and many anglers enjoy the Nantahala River just west of town, particularly the section above the powerhouse on Wayah Road.
The Cherokee Indian Reservation also offers a variety of fishing opportunities for the trout fisherman with regularly stocked streams, trophy waters and three trout ponds.

The rivers are all generally wadable but some are more subject to high water than others. Always check generation schedules for the local fly shots for safe wading availability and recommendations.


The Cherokee Spring Outing will allow the club members to fish the rivers described below while staying in the Cherokee general area. See "Group Event" section for specific meeting times and places.

Be aware that this is an early spring outing in the Great Smoky Mountains and can be subject to changing weather conditions. It is advisable to pack a variety of clothing for both warm, mild and/or wet conditions.
