North Carolina Fly Fishing

[NoLuck]

Hello fellow anglers,
I'll be in Badin NC for a while and I should have weekends off. Tell me where there is some decent trout fishing fairly close by.

Thanks,
Rich

Just so you know Badin is about an hour east of Charlotte.

I Googled as much as I could about the area, but all I could come up with was bass fishing. Not a bad thing in itself.

The trout streams in NC are all north and west of Charlotte, that I am aware of. The mountains of western NC are loaded with fantastic trout streams, but I'd guess you'd be looking at 2.5 or 3 hours drive to trout water.
Hope this helps some.

Rich;
Darrin is correct. But is a 4 hour + drive for you to Cherokee. Myself and Kaboom1 plan to fish in Cherokee before the start of Trout Fest over in Townsend, TN

Jack,
I will be in and out of here for possibly close to a year and a half. I should be off weekends most of the time. 4 hours is not real bad I suppose. What type of gear does a guy need to fish the smokies? I have a 3 and 4 Wt. BIIT Winston. Do I need waders and is felt OK??
