NORTH CAROLINA'S BEST FISHING
NORTH CAROLINA'S BEST FISHING, FROM THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS TO THE OUTER BANKS

From the Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks, there's plenty of great fresh and saltwater fishing in North Carolina. For North Carolina's best fishing, Tar Heel anglers might start at Fontana Lake, the best kept secret in the Smoky Mountains, a 29 mile long lake with more than 240 miles of shoreline and 11,685 acres of water surface. Its deep cold waters provide an ideal habitat for muskie and walleye and some anglers believe it's one of the best smallmouth bass lakes in the country.
If you fish for trout, you'll enjoy North Carolina's best fishing at a variety of trout streams in the Blue Ridge, Appalachian and Great Smoky Mountains.
Grandfather Mountain Trout Farm in Banner Elk, the North Poe River in Spruce Pine, Cane Creek in Bakersville and the Natahala River in Cherokee are a few of the great locations for North Carolina brook, rainbow and brown trout fishing.

North Carolina's best fishing for bass takes place at major lakes around the state, from Lake Wylie near Charlotte and Kerr Reservoir at Middleburg to Lake Hickory in Hickory and Lake Norman in Mooresville. A plethora of largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, striped and redeye bass are available.
For salt water anglers, North Carolina's best fishing can be found at Cape Hatteras Seashore on the Outer Banks, which offers 72 miles of ocean surf. You can fish offshore in the Gulf Stream for blue or white marlin, sail fish, dolphin, yellowfin tuna, king mackerel, wahoo and mako shark. Inshore, in the near ocean, you'll catch bluefish, red drum, striped bass, Spanish mackerel, speckled trout, flounder and croaker. Cape Lookout National Seashore at Harkers Island is another place for North Carolina's best fishing. You'll find a variety of cold and warm water fish, from striped bass to tarpon.
North Carolina's best fishing is best enjoyed with award-winning lures from www.scientificfishing.com, including the Walking Worm, which moves naturally and is the ideal lure for bass. The Walking Worm is based on a patented technology that traps air between tail segments, causing the lure to constantly curl across the water like a live worm. It can be Texas or Carolina rigged and comes in a variety of colors, from chartreuse to pumpkin seeds that are ideal for a variety of water conditions.
