If you want to try fly fishing in some of the beautiful mountain streams around Bear Lake Reserve you will want to meet Alex Bell. To arrange a fly fishing excursion along the Tuckasegee River with Alex call the Activities Department (828) 293-7414. Alex says beginners are welcome.
If you chose to venture out on your own you might want to check out the Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail. Its 15 stops provide a variety of options for catching brook, brown and rainbow trout.
A fishing license is required for fishing in these mountain streams. A license can be purchased online at the website for the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
Whether you go alone or with a guide please remember the credo of the true fly fisherman: Treat the land with respect and leave all streams in better condition than you found them.
