Fishing
There are several mountain streams and rivers
near Boone that pass through the High Country
making the area ideal for fishing. The Watauga
River, the New River and several smaller streams
are stocked full of trout and smallmouth bass.
Spend the day fishing and you’ll fast discover
this is one of the best ways to enjoy the
beautiful mountain scenery in the Blue Ridge.
The gorgeous
NC Mountain real estate that we
list and sell is located nearby many of the
great places to fish and certainly fishing is
part of the unforgettable mountain lifestyle
you’ll find here.
The
High Country areas of Boone, Blowing Rock and
Ashe County have over 4,200 miles of cool,
mountain streams, with the majority managed by
the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission
and classified as either wild or hatchery
supported. Currently there are five different
types of stream classifications with different
regulations on each. Be sure to check with a
local fishing store or licensing agency before
going out as regulations are enforced. Also,
anyone who is 16 years of age or older will need
a fishing license in order to fish anywhere in
the area.
 The Blue Ridge Parkway runs through the High
Country and features some great places to go
fishing for the day. Price Lake, Sims Pond, Bass
Lake and Trout Lake allow bank fishing and are
all located just near the Blue Ridge Parkway
allowing for some beautiful scenery. Also,
following up Highway 105 towards Banner Elk
there are several hotspots known to those in the
area and you can experience fishing in one of
the Watauga River tributaries.
In Ashe County NC, the New River is the best
place to fish and there are several streams that
flow from it. Be sure to check out the fishing
spots near Todd NC and Fleetwood NC in Ashe
County, near Railroad Grade Road. The New River
and its many tributaries are well stocked with
trout, smallmouth bass, and nice sized muskies.
No matter where you are in our beautiful
mountains, there is sure to be suitable trout
fishing ponds in Western North Carolina.
For those that want some advice before stepping
out and trying fishing all alone, there are
several fishing and guide shops in Boone that
offer their expert knowledge on the area’s
fishing spots and many offer guided day
trips for small groups and families.
