In fishing, trout are one of the favorite “fishing friends” of most anglers.
These crafty fish are abundant in our area.
In Western North Carolina we have three species of trout:
Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Brook Trout.
Rivers in and near Cherokee County include the Hiwassee, Valley River, Nottley, Ocoee (Polk County, Tennessee) and Nantahala Rivers (Swain & Macon Counties). The Hiwassee river is approximately 147 miles long. Its headwaters are in North Georgia but flows through Cherokee County turning westward to Tennessee ultimately flowing into the Tennessee river. The Valley river begins as a pair of springs from within the Snowbird Mountains and flows southwest into the Hiwassee river. Andrews is located in northeastern Cherokee County at 35°12′00″N 83°49′35″W, on the south side of the Valley River, a southwest-flowing tributary of the Hiwassee River and part of the Tennessee River watershed. The town of Murphy is situated at the confluence of the Hiwassee and Valley rivers. The rivers are a popular source of outdoor adventure including: white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing and fishing.
